<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metal matrix composite which is free from extremely- low-strength parts and has stable functionality and in which strength can be secured merely by a simple structure. SOLUTION: In the metal matrix composite in which a flat-plate-shaped reinforcing fiber 10 is held between metal matrices 12 and both are complexed with each other by means of hot rolling, or hot isostatic pressing, etc., extending-direction joint ends 11 in the reinforcing fiber 10 are obliquely butt- jointed at about 5 deg. to 60 deg. joint angle with respect to the direction of the fiber reinforcement. Further, it is preferable that, when a plurality of the metal matrices 12 and a plurality of the reinforcing fibers 10 are mutually laminated to form the composite material, either of the upper and lower fiber-reinforcement lamination strips adjacent to the position of the above butt joint is a continuous strip having no jointed part.</p> |
