Abstract: A metal-carbon particle composite material (30) is provided with one or more flake-like graphite particle dispersion layers (1) in which flake-like graphite particles (1a) as carbon particles are dispersed in a metal matrix (9), one or more carbon fiber dispersion layers (2) in which carbon fibers (2a) as carbon particles are dispersed in a metal matrix (9), and one or more metal layers (3) formed by the metal matrix (9) in a laminated manner. One or more flake-like graphite particle dispersion layers (1), one or more carbon fiber dispersion layers (2), and one or more metal layers (3) are integrally bonded. One of the flake-like graphite particle dispersion layer (1) and the carbon fiber dispersion layer (2) and the metal layer (3) are alternately laminated substantially entirely in the thickness direction of the composite material (30).
