Joining structure of vehicle framework members
A joining structure of vehicle framework members includes: a first vehicle framework member formed by a lightweight metal material having a rectangular closed cross section shape in a sectional view orthogonal to an extension direction of the first vehicle framework member; a second vehicle framework member formed by a lightweight metal material having a hat shape in the sectional view orthogonal to the extension direction, the second vehicle framework member covering the first vehicle framework member; an offset flange portion that is a portion of a flange portion formed at an end portion at the opening side of the second vehicle framework member, and that protrudes to an opposite side of the flange portion from the opening side; and a protrusion portion that protrudes from an end portion of the offset flange portion at the opening side, and that is joined to the first vehicle framework member by heat-welding.
1. A joining structure of vehicle framework members, comprising:
a first vehicle framework member formed by a lightweight metal material having a rectangular closed cross section shape in a sectional view orthogonal to an extension direction of the first vehicle framework member;
a second vehicle framework member formed by a lightweight metal material having a hat shape in the sectional view orthogonal to the extension direction, the second vehicle framework member covering the first vehicle framework member;
an offset flange portion that is a portion of a flange portion formed at an end portion at the side of the second vehicle framework member at which the opening is disposed, the offset flange portion protruding to an opposite side of the flange portion from the side at which the opening is disposed; and
a protrusion portion that protrudes from an end portion of the offset flange portion at the side at which the opening is disposed, the protrusion portion being joined to the first vehicle framework member by heat-welding.
2. The joining structure of vehicle framework members according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion portion protrudes as far as the end portion of the flange portion at the side at which the opening is disposed.
3. The joining structure of vehicle framework members according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the offset flange portions is formed along the extension direction.
4. The joining structure of vehicle framework members according to claim 3 , wherein the offset flange portions are formed such that at least one of lengths or spacings in the extension direction are respectively different.
5. The joining structure of vehicle framework members according to claim 1 , wherein
the first vehicle framework member is a side rail of a suspension member, and
the second vehicle framework member is an extension portion that extends to the vehicle front side from each of two vehicle width direction end portions of a rear cross-member of the suspension member.
