Patent ID: 7794851

Claim:
A fiber composite sheet material comprising plural sheet metal layers and at least one fiber reinforced film respectively laminated between and bonded to two of said sheet metal layers, wherein: each one of said sheet metal layers respectively comprises at least one metal selected from a group of aluminum, aluminum alloys, magnesium, magnesium alloys, titanium, titanium alloys, copper and copper alloys, said at least one fiber reinforced film respectively comprises reinforcing fibers having a fiber length of at least 10 mm and extending parallel to each other in a respective one of said at least one fiber reinforced film, said reinforcing fibers each respectively have a fiber core with a composition comprising at least one inorganic mineral material selected from a group of silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ), aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 2 ) and iron oxide (Fe 2 O 2 , FeO), and on said fiber core a bonding coating of metal particles comprising at least one metal selected from a group of aluminum, aluminum alloys, magnesium, magnesium alloys, titanium and titanium alloys, and said bonding coating bonds said reinforcing fibers to each other in said respective fiber reinforced film and bonds said respective fiber reinforced film to at least one adjoining one of said sheet metal layers.
