A METHOD OF PRODUCING A COMPOSITE MATERIAL OF A HIGH STRENGTH ALUMINIUM ALLOY AND A REINFORCEMENT OF ANOTHER METAL COMPRISING ASSEMBLING IN A STACK EXTERNAL RELATIVELY THICKER SHEET MATRIX LAYERS OF ALUMINIUM ALLOY AND SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE EXTERNAL LAYERS AT LEAST ONE REINFORCING LAYER INCLUDING AT LEAST A PROPORTION OF RELATIVELY HIGHER STRENGTH SUBSTANTIALLY PARALLEL FINE WIRES SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF STAINLESS STEEL, TUNGSTEN AND COBALT ALLOY WIRES, WHICH PROPORTION CONSTITUTES FROM 1 TO 20% BY VOLUME OF THE COMPOSITE MATERIAL, HOT ROLLING THE ASSEMBLED STACK AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE 400 TO 450*C. WITH THE HIGHER STRENGTH WIRES PARALLEL WITH THE ROLL AXES TO CONVERT THE STACK INOT COMPOSITE SUBSTANTIALLY HOMOGENEOUS SHEET MATERIAL CONTAINING THE EMBEDDED HIGH STRENGTH WIRES AND SOLUTION HEAT TREATING AND AGE HARDENING THE COMPOSITE SHEET AT TEMPERATURES APPROPRIATE TO THE TREATMENT OF THE MATRIX MATERIAL.
