Abstract
Provided is a method of bonding an operation wire used in a medical equipment. The method includes: locally heating an adjacent region of a bonding region of an operation wire to generate an oxide in the adjacent region of the operation wire; coating the bonding region and the adjacent region with flux to remove an oxide in the bonding region and the oxide in the adjacent region; inserting a bonding end portion of the operation wire into a through-hole of a coupling material; injecting a melted bonding material into between the coupling material and the operation wire to integrally bond the coupling material and the operation wire such that the oxide remaining in the adjacent region prevents wet-spreading of the bonding material.
