Abstract: A method of manufacturing a full face vehicle wheel having a high durability performance, in which the back surface of a wheel disk is provided in advance with an annular joining groove. A peripheral joining end of a wheel rim is provided in advance with an inside slope end surface. The peripheral joining end is seated and positioned on the bottom surface of the annular joining groove. A welding heat confining annular region is produced between the inside groove wall of the annular joining groove and the inside slope end surface. The annular joining groove and the peripheral joining end are joined by welding.

Abstract: The present invention is a weld bonding method providing adhesion by both an adhesive and resistance spot welding, and includes application of an adhesive including a thermosetting epoxy resin, a latent curing agent and 1 to 15 vol % of one or more additives selected from the group consisting of conductive metals, metal oxides, metal carbides, metal nitrides, metal borides, and metal silicides, which are in the from of powder having a particle size of 10 .mu.m or less, or in the form of fragments or flakes having a thickness of 0.5 .mu.m or more and a size of 30 .mu.m or less.

Abstract: A resistance welding process for aluminum and aluminum alloy materials for enabling the remarkable improvement of the electrode life comprises the steps of preparing an insert material having the overall thickness of 0.02 to 1 mm including a sheet-like core material consisting of iron, steel, copper or copper alloy and coated layers each having the thickness of 1 to 100 .mu.m, consisting of any one of Ni, Ni alloy, Ti, Ti alloy, Nb, Nb alloy, Mo, Mo alloy, W, W alloy, Cr, Cr alloy, Co and Co alloy and formed on both surfaces of the core material, or an insert material consisting of Ti foil or Ni foil; interposing the insert material between each of upper and under electrodes and each portion of overlapped materials to be welded consisting of aluminum or aluminum alloy; pressurizing the materials to be welded by the upper and under electrodes to join the materials to be welded together. The coated layers on both surfaces of the core material may consist of the same metal or different metals from each other.
