Abstract
A carbon-containing metal matrix composite material and a method for producing the same are described, wherein the graphitized vapor grown carbon fibers (VGCF) on which a metal carbide film is formed via a sintering step, so as to improve the compounding quality and increase the content of the carbon material in the metal matrix, are dispersed uniformly in the metal matrix. The graphitized VGCF used in the present invention can be unidirectional VGCF or the VGCF having a three-dimensional linkage structure.
