  • Publication number: 20230330947
    Abstract: The manufacturing method includes surface treatment and bonding. In the surface treatment, micro-order or nano-order asperities are formed on a surface of the metallic member. The bonding includes directly bonding the metallic member and the fiber-reinforced resin member by repeatedly bonding a melted portion of the fiber-reinforced resin member to the surface of the metallic member while partially melting the fiber-reinforced resin member, the metallic member having the asperities formed by the surface treatment.

  • Patent number: 11635411
    Abstract: An ultrasonic inspection apparatus includes: an acquisition unit acquiring a signal indicating a fundamental wave and a second harmonic of an ultrasonic wave, which are obtained by the ultrasonic wave being scanned over an inspection object through a medium, at each scanning position; a calculation unit calculating a value obtained by dividing a second harmonic amplitude by a square of a fundamental wave amplitude, at each scanning position; and an output unit outputting information on a defect of the inspection object, based on the value obtained by dividing the second harmonic amplitude by the square of the fundamental wave amplitude.
