Abstract
Provided are a composite member, a seat for automobile, and a component for automobile that suppress a decrease in strength at a connection place between a metal member and a fiber-reinforced member. A composite member includes: a fiber-reinforced member formed by impregnating a plurality of sheet-shaped core materials with a matrix resin; and a metal member joined to the fiber-reinforced member. The composite member has a structure in which a part of the metal member is sandwiched and fixed between a plurality of the core materials stacked in a thickness direction at a joint place between the fiber-reinforced member and the metal member.

A composite member comprising:
- a fiber-reinforced member formed by impregnating a plurality of sheet-shaped core materials with a matrix resin;
- and a metal member joined to the fiber-reinforced member,
- the composite member having a structure in which a part of the metal member is sandwiched and fixed between a plurality of the core materials stacked in a thickness direction at a joint place between the fiber-reinforced member and the metal member,
- wherein the core materials each include a base layer and a fiber layer formed by arranging fiber bundles on one surface side of the base layer,
- wherein the base layer consists of a fiber assembly, the fiber assembly being any of a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, and a nonwoven fabric,
- wherein each of the fiber bundles is formed by aligning a plurality of reinforcing fibers,
- wherein each of the fiber bundles is sewn to the base layer, and
- wherein the core material at the joint place is disposed such that the base layer is in contact with the metal member.
