A fluid pump has a cylinder supporting a plunger and a pump housing formed
with dissimilar metals. A pressing mechanism presses the cylinder and the
pump housing relative to each other so that a pressurizing chamber is
sealed through a pressing surface between the pump housing and the
cylinder. The number of seal points can be reduce, and a reduction in
reliability can be eliminated while realizing a reduction in weight of
the pump housing and a reduction in cost due to increase in cutting
capability, by using a soft material such as an aluminum alloy for the
pump housing.
