Abstract
The present invention provides a bolting structure for a magnesium alloy member, having a non-magnesium alloy and conventional member disposed on the magnesium alloy member the magnesium alloy member being covered with an insulator and a bolt initially inserted through the magnesium alloy member and then into the conventional member thereby permitting the conventional member and the magnesium alloy member to be bolted together, comprising: a washer disposed between a head of the bolt and the magnesium alloy member the washer having a boss disposed thereon, wherein the magnesium alloy member is formed with a through-hole that is greater in diameter than a bolthole of the washer The above boss and through-hole eliminate a chance that the bolt contacts the through-hole The insulator remains intact because of non-contact of the bolt with the through-hole so that no stray current corrosion occurs.
