Abstract
An assembly, useful in producing a carbon fiber-reinforced metal, of a plurality of carbon fibers each coated with a matrix metal layer, the fibers having bonded points at the metal layers to form a two-dimensional network structure or both a two-dimensional network structure and a three-dimensional network structure, produced advantageously by an ion plating process or a vacuum deposition process.
