However, in the structure in which the cross fitting portions are joined by friction stir welding as described above, the joining tool cannot be operated on the corner portion, which is unique to the friction stir welding method. For this reason, as described above, the joining is performed only to the part (53) in the butted state in the boundary between the meats of the two frame members (51) and (52). The butted portion (53) is a place where a large stress is applied when a force such as torsion or pulling is applied. Therefore, there is a possibility that the friction stir welding portion may be broken, and there is a problem in strength.

That is, since the core is arranged in such a manner as to fill the gap between the two members in the fitting portion, it is possible to perform a strong joining utilizing the core. For example, in the case of the friction stir welding method, the first member and the core, and the second member and the core can be friction stir welded in the form of a lap joint, respectively. It becomes difficult to join both members firmly and firmly. In addition, since it is not necessary to perform joining at the butted portion, high precision is not required for processing the notched portion. Further, in the case of mechanical joining using bolts, rivets, or the like, the core supports the force in the collapsing direction due to the tightening, and it is possible to join firmly without causing the members to collapse. Furthermore, the use of the core increases the bonding area, and enables bonding with an adhesive.

Further, since the frame members having a rectangular cross section can be joined by performing friction stir welding at the center portions of the walls (1b) and (2b) of the frame members (1) and (2), the frame members (1) and (2) can be used. Even if a force such as torsion or tension acts on 2), it is possible to avoid that a large stress acts on these joints (7) and (7), and it is possible to reduce the possibility of occurrence of troubles such as breakage. Note that the friction stir welding may be performed without moving the welding tool (3) to form a point-like welded portion.

As described above, according to the present invention, in the joint fitting structure of the intersection of the members, the notch for fitting is provided on the side surface of the first member, and the notch for fitting is provided in the notch for fitting. The two members are fitted in an intersecting manner, and a core is arranged in a manner to fill a gap between both members in the fitting portion, and the first member and the second member are joined via the core. Therefore, the fitting portion at the intersection of the members can be strongly and firmly joined by, for example, a friction stir welding method or a mechanical joining method using bolts, rivets, or the like.
Moreover, it can be firmly joined by an adhesive or the like, and the applicable range of the joining method can be widened.
