Abstract:
The present invention relates to filled polymeric materials including a thermoplastic polymer and a metallic filler and to light weight composite materials, which comprise a metallic layer and a polymeric layer, the polymeric layer containing the filled polymeric material. The filled polymeric material preferably is an extruded sheet. The composite materials of the present invention may be formed using conventional stamping equipment at ambient temperatures and/pr welded to other metal materials using conventional welding techniques.

Claim (Index 16):
A light weight composite material comprising:\n (i) a first metallic layer; (ii) a second metallic layer; and (iii) a filled polymeric layer at least partially interposed between the first metallic layer and the second metallic layer; wherein the light weight composite material has a thickness of about 0.4 mm or more, the filled polymeric layer has a thickness that is at least about 30% of the total thickness of the light weight composite material, the filled polymeric layer includes one or more thermoplastics polymers, and a plurality of metallic fibers distributed within the polymer; the metallic fibers are present at a concentration greater than about 3% by volume, based on the total volume of the filled polymeric material; and wherein the shape, size, concentration, and type of the metallic fibers is selected so that the light weight composite material is weldable.
