Abstract
A method for producing a hemmed joint structure having a second member placed on a first member and an edge of the first member bent over the second member to join the two members with each other. In this method, there is provided an flange part jutting out from an edge of the first member. The flange part is disposed at a position where the flange part, when bent, does not overlap an adhesive layer between the first member and the second member. Since the adhesive layer is set apart from the flange part, even when the flange part is subjected to friction stir bonding, the resultant frictional heat will not affect the adhesive layer.
