Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of manufacturing a composite member including an aluminum member and a fiber-reinforced resin member bonded to each other, the method including: performing blasting on a surface of the aluminum member; modifying the surface of the aluminum member into aluminum hydroxide, the modifying including causing the surface of the aluminum member having undergone blasting to react with water by using at least one of heat and plasma; and directly bonding the fiber-reinforced resin member to the surface of the aluminum member modified to the aluminum hydroxide.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method of manufacturing a composite member including an aluminum member and a fiber-reinforced resin member bonded to each other, the method comprising: performing blasting on a surface of the aluminum member; modifying the surface of the aluminum member into aluminum hydroxide, the modifying including causing the surface of the aluminum member having undergone blasting to react with water by using at least one of heat and plasma; and directly bonding the fiber-reinforced resin member to the surface of the aluminum member modified to the aluminum hydroxide. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the aluminum hydroxide contains at least one of diaspore, boehmite, pseudo-boehmite, bayerite, nordstrandite, gibbsite, and doyleite. 3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the modifying includes cleaning the surface of the aluminum member with the water and modifying the surface of the aluminum member to the aluminum hydroxide. 4 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the modifying includes cleaning the surface of the aluminum member with the water and modifying the surface of the aluminum member to the aluminum hydroxide. 5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the modifying includes causing the surface of the aluminum member to react with water by using one of hydrothermal treatment, steam treatment, superheated steam treatment, liquid plasma, and atmospheric-pressure plasma containing water. 6 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the modifying includes causing the surface of the aluminum member to react with water by using one of hydrothermal treatment, steam treatment, superheated steam treatment, liquid plasma, and atmospheric-pressure plasma containing water. 7 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the modifying includes causing the surface of the aluminum member to react with water by using one of hydrothermal treatment, steam treatment, superheated steam treatment, liquid plasma, and atmospheric-pressure plasma containing water. 8 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the modifying includes causing the surface of the aluminum member to react with water by using one of hydrothermal treatment, steam treatment, superheated steam treatment, liquid plasma, and atmospheric-pressure plasma containing water. 9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein abrasive grains used in the blasting have a particle size of 30 μm to 710 μm. 10 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein abrasive grains used in the blasting have a particle size of 30 μm to 710 μm. 11 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein abrasive grains used in the blasting have a particle size of 30 μm to 710 μm. 12 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein abrasive grains used in the blasting have a particle size of 30 μm to 710 μm. 13 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein abrasive grains used in the blasting have a particle size of 30 μm to 710 μm. 14 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bonding includes directly bonding the fiber-reinforced resin member to the surface of the aluminum member by press forming or ultrasonic bonding. 15 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the bonding includes directly bonding the fiber-reinforced resin member to the surface of the aluminum member by press forming or ultrasonic bonding. 16 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the bonding includes directly bonding the fiber-reinforced resin member to the surface of the aluminum member by press forming or ultrasonic bonding. 17 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the bonding includes directly bonding the fiber-reinforced resin member to the surface of the aluminum member by press forming or ultrasonic bonding. 18 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the bonding includes directly bonding the fiber-reinforced resin member to the surface of the aluminum member by press forming or ultrasonic bonding. 19 . A composite member comprising: an aluminum member having asperities on a surface of the aluminum member and an aluminum hydroxide film formed on the surface of the aluminum member; and a fiber-reinforced resin member in direct contact with the surface of the aluminum member on which the aluminum hydroxide film is formed. 20 . The composite member according to claim 19 , wherein the aluminum hydroxide film contains at least one of diaspore, boehmite, pseudo-boehmite, bayerite, nordstrandite, gibbsite, and doyleite.
