Abstract
A bonding apparatus for bonding metal plates, includes an overlapping mechanism for overlapping end portions of the metal plates, at least two supports for supporting the overlapped portion of the metal plates at one side of the metal plates, and a shearing blade disposed opposite the supports so as to sandwich the overlapped portion of the metal plates therebetween, wherein a moving mechanism is provided for relatively moving at least one of the shearing blade and the supports so as to press the shearing blade into the overlapped portion of the metal plates disposed between the supports and the shearing glade. A method for bonding is characterized by bonding metal plates by using the above apparatus.
