Abstract:
1. A composite material comprising: at least two metallic arrays of rigid oblong metallic bodies, wherein said metallic bodies have a tensile strength of 1140 MPa or greater, are at least 0.3 millimeters (mm.) thick, at least 2 mm wide and at least 10 mm long and spaces between the metallic bodies within each of the at least two metallic arrays are filled with a non-metallic filler; a separating non-metallic layer between each given two metallic arrays of the at least two metallic arrays, each of said separating non-metallic layers being comprised of polymer fabric or carbon fiber residing contiguously between the given two metallic arrays; and two exterior non-metallic layers comprised of polymer fabric or carbon fiber contiguously residing on an exterior side of an exterior metallic array of said at least two metallic arrays; wherein said at least two metallic arrays and said separating and exterior non-metallic layers are arranged in contiguous alternating layers, starting and ending with a non-metallic layer, to form a solid composite material having a non-metallic exterior surface.
