A secondary battery includes an electrode assembly, and a battery case accommodating the battery case together with an electrolytic solution. The battery case includes a metal. The battery case is opened in its upper part; and a cap assembly that is coupled to the opened upper part of the can body. The can body includes a beading part that is bent inward at the upper part of the housing part, and a crimping part that is bent in a direction in which the cap assembly is located at an upper part of the beading part. At least one of the bottom part or the crimping part of the can body has a metal member inserted therein. The metal member has a lower melting point than the metal of the can body.
