Abstract: A method of joining a metal and a plastic member, a method of joining a CFRP member and a plastic member, a method of joining a metal and a CFRP member through a plastic member, in particular a method of joining members able to join members by a faster joining speed and able to give a joined member excellent in joining strength are provided. A method of joining a metal and a plastic member by overlaying a metal and a plastic member and joining them by firing a laser beam from the plastic member side, comprising overlaying the plastic member and glass through which the laser beam will pass on the metal in that order and firing the laser beam from the plastic member side through the glass at a joining location where the metal and the plastic member are overlaid to join them by a joining speed of 0.5 m to 5.0 m/min.

Abstract: An automobile structural member (2) has a closed transverse section shape constituted with a first composing member (12) and a second composing member (13). The first composing member (12) has a vertical wall portion (12c), a bent portion (12b), and an inward flange (12a), and has a load transmission portion (20) formed in at least a part of a region being a region between the bent portion (12b) and the second composing member (13) and being a region of an extension of the vertical wall portion (12c) toward the second composing member (13) and which joins the bent portion (12b) and the second composing member (13). Thereby, a bending and crushing performance can be improved.
