A joining structure includes a first member, a second member of a material different from that of the first member, and a separation mechanism provided between the first member and the second member and that separates the first member and the second member from each other, wherein a resin is filled into the space between the edge of at least one member among the first member and the second member, and the other member.
Claims18
A joining structure comprising:
- a first member extending in a longitudinal direction comprising a first material and having a joining surface and an opposing surface;
- a second member extending in the longitudinal direction comprising a second material, wherein the first material is a metallic material and the second material is a nonmetallic material or a dissimilar metallic material, and having a joining surface and an opposing surface, wherein the first member and the second member are disposed in an at least partially overlapping manner in the longitudinal direction defining an overlap section, the overlap section forming a hollow space-containing closed cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the longitudinal direction;
- a rivet welded to the first member and providing a separation between the joining surface of the first member and the joining surface of the second member;
- and
- an integrally-formed resin section including a portion, covering the opposing surface of the first member, an intermediate portion located within the separation between the joining surface of the first member and the joining surface of the second member, and a portion covering the opposing surface of the second member.
