Provided is a film forming method that can form a film having a thickness of 500 μm or more with a single coating of a substrate.

The present disclosure is a film forming method using a powder coating material containing a polyphenylene sulfide resin, the method including heating the powder coating material at a temperature equal to or higher than a melting point of the polyphenylene sulfide resin and within a range of 250 to 400° C., in which a single coating of a substrate forms a film having a thickness of 500 μm or more; and the obtained film has a surface roughness, Ra, of 0.30 μm or less.

The invention is directed to a composite structure in which a metal member having a roughened surface and a resin member are joined in a state in which at least a portion of the roughened surface is included. The resin member is made of a molded article obtained by melt-molding a polyarylene sulfide resin composition containing a polyarylene sulfide resin. In the roughened surface, a cumulative pore volume of a pore diameter in a range of 0.1 μm to 20 μm is in a range of 0.5 nL/mm.sup.2 or more and 5 nL/mm.sup.2 or less measured by mercury porosimetry. According to the invention, it is possible to provide a composite structure that is obtained by joining a metal member and a molded article made of polyarylene sulfide resin composition and is more excellent in joining strength, heat cycle resistance, and sealing properties, and a method for producing the composite structure.
