A thermal relief slot is formed by including a lateral slot in each of three overlying sheet metal sheets with the upper and lower slots being in overlying position and the middle slot being axially spaced therefrom and the three sheets being bonded into an integral sheet metal sheet assembly except for the area extending over the relief slots. The edge of the upper and/or lower outer edges of adjacent the relief slots may be chamfered to prevent fraying of the edges. A two sheet assembly includes the relief slots axially spaced and two sheet metal sheets are bonded except for the area including and extending between the two relief slots.
