Abstract
A process for is producing a fiber-reinforced semifinished product in the form of metal strips, metal sheets etc., from at least one layer of fibers which includes a number of long to endless reinforcing fibers spaced apart from one another and arranged in parallel and a metal. A metal jacket applied to the reinforcing fiber by a PVD process (physical vapor deposition) may act for example as the metal. At least certain regions of the metal and the reinforcing fibers run through a welding process in which a bonding takes place by planar melting of the metal to form a matrix surrounding the reinforcing fibers.
