  • Production method for composite member
    Patent number: 11059207
    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a composite member formed by bonding a base material and a resin member. The method includes: a surface treatment step of forming micro-order or nano-order asperities on a surface of a base material; and a bonding step of directly bonding, by injection molding, a resin member to the surface of the base material that has the asperities formed in the surface treatment step. In addition, the composite member includes: a base material having micro-order or nano-order asperities on a surface thereof; and a resin member that is in direct contact with the surface of the base material.
