CAULKING DEFORMATION AMOUNT SETTING METHOD AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF CAULKING COUPLING STRUCTURE

摘要

To provide a caulking deformation amount setting method which can further properly set a caulking amount for caulking a caulking part, and a manufacturing method of a caulking coupling structure.SOLUTION: A caulking deformation amount setting method sets a caulking deformation amount D1 of a caulking part 13 for coupling superimposed terminal plates 7 and a band-shaped heat generation member 3. The method includes a simulation caulking process and an evaluation process. In the simulation caulking process, a caulking part sample 13S to which a superimposed terminal plate sample 7s, a band-shaped heat generation member sample 3s and a dummy member sample 8s are attached is plastically deformed by a prescribed simulation caulking deformation amount D2. In the evaluation process, the simulation caulking deformation amount D2 when a surface scratch 41 which does not substantially cause a hang at an acute member 43 even if the acute member 43 is made to pass therethrough is formed at the band-shaped heat generation member sample 3S is set as the caulking deformation amount D1.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
