the metal composite member that has two opposing main surfaces with a
second metal layer provided on one of the main surfaces, and a brazing
material layer that joins the first metal layer and the second metal
layer, wherein the brazing material layer has an outer circumferential
surface that has a depression formed therein at middle position in the
