A metal-resin joined body having a high joining strength is obtained. The metal-resin joined body of the invention is a metal-resin joined body 10 including a metal member 30 made of a metal and a resin member 20 made of a thermoplastic resin, in which a resin joint surface 22 of the resin member 20 is joined to a metal joint surface 32 of the metal member 30. The metal member 30 includes an anchor portion 34 protruding from the metal joint surface 32. The anchor portion 34 includes an aggregate 38 of a plurality of metal particles 36, and a plurality of voids 40 formed between the plurality of metal particles 36. The plurality of voids 40 are connected inside the anchor portion 34 and are connected from a surface of the anchor portion 34 to the inside of the anchor portion 34.

A process, apparatus and a catheter and a flexi needle for medical applications formed by the process of selecting a tubular flexible member and a metal/ceramic cap member to be securely joined to the tubular member, placing the cap member in engaging relation with a holding member of a material joining device, securing the tubular member on a positioning member of the material joining device, positioning a distal end of the tubular member in engaging relation with an end of the cap member positioned in the holding member, and rotating the holding member and maintaining the tubular member in frictionally engaging relation with the cap member to melt or soften a predetermined portion of the distal end of the tubular member engaged with the cap member to integrally join a predetermined portion of the distal end of the tubular member within the cap member forming a joined composite member.

A high-strength structural joint is provided. The high-strength structural joint includes a first component of a first material, a second component of a second material. The second component of the second material defines a channel. The high-strength structural joint further includes a third component of a third material. A chemical bond joins the first component of the first material and the third component of the third material in the channel and the channel mechanically retains the third component of the third material.
