Abstract
When a seat ( ) (FIG. A) on which a wax layer ( ) is formed via a melting reaction layer ( ) is brought into contact with a head ( ) and heated and pressed in this state, a melting reaction layer ( ) forms below the wax layer (FIG. B). When electric current application and pressing are continued from this state, a wax which has not reacted in the wax layer ( ) in the formation of the melting reaction layer ( ) is discharged from between the melting reaction layers ( ) and ( ). When electrical current application and pressing are further continued from this state, the two melting reaction layers ( ) and ( ) diffuse each other. The result is that a ternary alloy bonding layer ( ) containing Fe, Al, and Zn, which constitute the melting reaction layers ( ) and ( ) is formed between the seat ( ) and the head ( ) (FIG. D).
