Abstract
There is provided a manufacturing method for a composite structure that makes it possible to join a thermoplastic resin molding, which serves as a second member for reinforcement, while at the same time preventing the deformation of a first member to be reinforced. The second member contains magnetic substances in a portion thereof that is to be abutted on the first member. The second member is introduced into an induction heating unit and subjected to induction heating, thereby heating the abutting portion of the second member to join the second member to the first member.
Claims16
A manufacturing method for a composite structure composed of a plate-like first member and a ribbed second member, the method comprising:
- a step of introducing a thermoplastic resin molding into an induction heating apparatus, in which the thermoplastic resin includes an abutting portion, which is to be abutted on one surface of the first member, and contains a magnetic substance at least in the abutting portion, the thermoplastic resin molding constituting the second member;
- a step of heating the abutting portion by inductively heating the second member by the induction heating apparatus;
- and
- a step of leading the second member out of the induction heating apparatus and joining the second member to one surface of the first member at the abutting portion.
