Abstract
A composite article comprising a resin matrix containing both carbon fibers and a tin alloy. In the preferred embodiment, fiber containing layers within the matrix are separated by alloy containing layers within the matrix. The invention further includes the method of manufacturing the composite articles by impregnating layers of carbon fibers with a resin to form impregnated sheets, spreading alloy powder between the sheets and compression molding the resulting article at a sufficient temperature and pressure for a sufficient time to melt the alloy and cure the resin.
