Sound absorbency is imparted on a panel, which has increased strength and rigidity, by laminating a foam resin that is not originally permeable and does not absorb sound, and surface sheets that are not originally permeable and do not absorb sound. A sound absorption panel, obtained by laminating a foam resincomprising closed cells and aluminum alloy sheets(metal sheets), has a plurality of holesformed therein, which penetrate the foam resinand the aluminum alloy sheetsin the thickness direction. The holesare formed by forcing a needle(hole-forming means) through the foam resinand the aluminum alloy sheets

A method for producing a metal-resin composite includes a coating step, an assembling step, and a heating step. The coating step coats at least part of the outer periphery of a solid metal first member with a foaming resin and a non-foaming resin. The assembling step disposes the first member within a hollow metal second member. The heating step heats an assembly of the second member within which the first member coated with the foaming resin and the non-foaming resin with the axes of the first member and the second member extending in the horizontal direction, and thus foams the foaming resin between the first member and the second member.

Method of making a metal-resin composite

A laminated plate includes two alloy plates laminated on respective sides of a core polypropylene-based resin in which the resin has a foamable property. Advantageously, the aluminum alloy plates are composed of temper treated material selected from an O material, an H22 material to an H24 material, an H32 material to an H34 material and a T4 material.
