Abstract
A temperature resistant material, comprising a temperature resistant matrix and a set of short metal fibers, which characterized in that the set of short metal fibers represents at least 0.5% by weight of the temperature resistant material. The set of short metal fibers has an equivalent diameter D in the range of 1 to 150 μ, and comprising curved fibers and entangled fibers. The curved fibers have an average length L in the range of 10 to 2000 μ.
