Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A lamination includes: a substrate made of a metal or an alloy; an intermediate layer formed on a surface of the substrate and made of nickel or an alloy including nickel; and a metal film formed by accelerating, towards a surface of the intermediate layer, a powder material of aluminum or an aluminum alloy together with a gas heated to a temperature lower than a melting point of the powder material and spraying the powder material in a solid phase to the intermediate layer and causing the powder material to be deposited on the intermediate layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A lamination comprising: a substrate made of a metal or an alloy; an intermediate layer formed on a surface of the substrate and made of nickel or an alloy including nickel; and a metal film formed by accelerating, towards a surface of the intermediate layer, a powder material of aluminum or an aluminum alloy together with a gas heated to a temperature lower than a melting point of the powder material and spraying the powder material in a solid phase to the intermediate layer and causing the powder material to be deposited on the intermediate layer. 2 . The lamination according to claim 1 , wherein the intermediate layer has Vickers hardness equal to or greater than 100 Hv. 3 . The lamination according to claim 1 , wherein the intermediate layer is a nonelectrolytically plated nickel layer. 4 . The lamination according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate is made of copper, and is used as a negative terminal for a battery. 5 . The lamination according to claim 4 , wherein the lamination is used as a negative terminal for a battery that is connected to a positive terminal of another battery via bus bar made of aluminum. 6 . A method of manufacturing a lamination, the method comprising: an intermediate layer forming step of forming an intermediate layer made of nickel or an alloy including nickel on an end face of a substrate made of a metal or an alloy; and a metal film forming step of: accelerating, towards a surface of the intermediate layer, a powder material of aluminum or an aluminum alloy together with a gas heated to a temperature lower than a melting point of the powder material; and spraying the powder material in a solid phase onto the substrate via the intermediate layer to cause the powder material to be deposited thereon and form a metal film.
