Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a bumper capable of avoiding a decrease in strength of junctions due to the influence of heat and avoiding cracking. SOLUTION: Support members 3 are strongly fitted into a fitting recess 22 in a predetermined longitudinal position in a bumper main body 2 and are temporarily assembled in place. After one of projection streaks 21 on the bumper main body 2 is frictionally and agitatingly joined with the support members 3, the other of the projections 21 and the support members 3 are similarly frictionally and agitatingly joined together. When the support members 3 and the bumper main body 2 are thus frictionally and agitatingly joined and integrated together, a decrease in strength of the junctions and high-temperature cracking during melt welding are avoided, and a bumper 1 excellent in strength and rigidity can be fabricated.

The probe (42) is slightly inclined backward in the traveling direction while the probe (42) is in the inserted state. ) To move relatively along the length direction. Then, frictional heat generated by the rotation of the probe (42),
Further, due to frictional heat generated due to sliding between the shoulder of the rotor (41) and the surface of the ridge (21), the ridge (21) and the support member (3) are brought close to contact with the probe (42). While being softened and plasticized and agitated, the softened portion receives the traveling pressure of the probe (42) and receives the probe (4).
After plastically flowing in such a manner as to go backward in the traveling direction of the probe (42) so as to fill the passage groove of (2), the frictional heat is rapidly lost, and the solidified material is cooled and solidified. This phenomenon is sequentially repeated with the movement of the probe (42), and by moving the probe (42) by a range substantially equal to the width of the support member (3), one end of the bumper main body (2) is finally formed. Of the ridge (21) and the support member (3) are joined and integrated.

According to such friction stir welding, the temperature at which the ridges (21) of the bumper body (2) and the support member (3) are plasticized is considerably lower than the melting points of these materials.
Therefore, since it belongs to the category of solid-phase bonding, the ridges (21) of the bumper main body (2) and the support members (3) throughout the bonding process.
The amount of heat input to the joint (5) is extremely small, and there is no fear of cracking or reduction in strength due to thermal distortion or thermal influence in the vicinity of the joint (5).

A bumper main body and a support member are joined by performing friction stir welding in which the joining member is softened and stirred while being inserted into the bumper.
