Abstract

Second member 20 includes a material that is difficult to weld to first member 10 . In first member 10 , recess 11 is formed by press molding such that a lower surface of first member 10 opposite to second member 20 protrudes. Third member 30 is arc-welded toward at least a bottom of recess 11 via penetrating part 21 of second member 20 . Second member 20 is compressed by flange 31 and first member 10 by solidification contraction of third member 30 , and second member 20 is therefore fixed between flange 31 of third member 30 and first member 10.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A joining structure joining, to each other, a first member including a metal material, a second member including a material that is different from the metal material of the first member, and a third member including a filler material welded to the first member, wherein
the first member includes a recess and has a lower surface opposite to the second member, the lower surface being configured to protrude,
the second member includes a penetrating part that extends a full thickness of the second member and opens at a position corresponding to the recess,
the third member includes a flange that presses a peripheral edge of the penetrating part, and is arc-welded toward at least a bottom of the recess via the penetrating part, and
the second member is compressed by the flange and the first member by solidification contraction of the third member, and thus the second member is fixed between the flange and the first member.

2. The joining structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the penetrating part is defined by the peripheral edge,
the peripheral edge includes a tapered part tapered toward the first member, and
the flange presses the tapered part.

3. The joining structure according to claim 1 , wherein the recess includes a bottom having a flat shape and an inclined part inclined toward the bottom.

4. The joining structure according to claim 1 , wherein the recess has a tapered shape that widens toward the bottom of the recess.

5. The joining structure according to claim 1 , wherein the recess includes a plurality of small recesses smaller than the recess.

6. The joining structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the second member further includes a step that opens at a surface opposite to the first member, and
the penetrating part extends through a bottom surface of the step.

7. The joining structure according to claim 6 , wherein the bottom surface of the step is inclined toward the penetrating part.

8. The joining structure according to claim 1 , wherein the third member includes a first joint welded to the first member and a second joint welded to the first joint and constituting the flange.

9. The joining structure according to claim 1 , wherein the second member has a melting point lower than a melting point of the first member and has a thickness larger than a thickness of the first member.

10. A joining structure joining, to each other, a first member including a metal material, a second member including a material that is different from the metal material of the first member, and a third member including a filler material welded to the first member, wherein
the first member includes a recess and has a lower surface opposite to the second member, the lower surface being configured to protrude,
the second member includes a penetrating part that opens at a position corresponding to the recess,
the third member includes a flange that presses a peripheral edge of the penetrating part, and is arc-welded toward at least a bottom of the recess via the penetrating part,
the second member is compressed by the flange and the first member by solidification contraction of the third member, and thus the second member is fixed between the flange and the first member, and
the flange protrudes radially outward from the penetrating part on a surface of the second member opposite to the first member.

11. The joining structure according to claim 10 , wherein the recess includes a bottom having a flat shape and an inclined part inclined toward the bottom.

12. A joining structure joining, to each other, a first member including a metal material, a second member including a material that is different from the metal material of the first member, and a third member including a filler material welded to the first member, wherein
the first member includes a recess and has a lower surface opposite to the second member, the lower surface being configured to protrude,
the second member includes a penetrating part that opens at a position corresponding to the recess,
the third member includes a flange that presses a peripheral edge of the penetrating part, and is arc-welded toward at least a bottom of the recess via the penetrating part,
the second member is compressed by the flange and the first member by solidification contraction of the third member, and thus the second member is fixed between the flange and the first member, and
the recess has a tapered shape tapered toward the bottom of the recess.

13. The joining structure according to claim 12 , wherein the recess includes a bottom having a flat shape and an inclined part inclined toward the bottom.

14. A joining structure joining, to each other, a first member including a metal material, a second member including a material that is different from the metal material of the first member, and a third member including a filler material welded to the first member, wherein
the first member includes a recess and has a lower surface opposite to the second member, the lower surface being configured to protrude,
the second member includes a penetrating part that opens at a position corresponding to the recess,
the third member includes a flange that presses a peripheral edge of the penetrating part, and is arc-welded toward at least a bottom of the recess via the penetrating part, and
the second member is compressed by the flange and the first member by solidification contraction of the third member, and thus the second member is sandwiched between the flange and the first member, and is in contact with the first member and the third member.

15. The joining structure according to claim 14 , wherein the recess includes a bottom having a flat shape and an inclined part inclined toward the bottom.
