NOVELTY - The composite component comprises a metal (2), a fiber composite material (3) and a connection zone (4), where the material-consistent connection of the metal with the fiber composite material in the connection zone is formed through casting with subsequent hardening of the metal. The structure of the connection zone from the fiber of the fiber composite material and/or from the fiber of the fiber composite material coated with hardened metal melt is compounded. The fiber composite materials are partially embedded in a metallic matrix.    USE - Composite component useful in vehicle construction, in aerospace industry or in wind power stations (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - Composite component can be simply and economically produced with good stability and light weight.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The composite component comprises a metal (2), a fiber composite material (3) and a connection zone (4), where the material-consistent connection of the metal with the fiber composite material in the connection zone is formed through casting with subsequent hardening of the metal. The structure of the connection zone from the fiber of the fiber composite material and/or from the fiber of the fiber composite material coated with hardened metal melt is compounded. The fiber composite materials are partially embedded in a metallic matrix. The connection zone consequences a uniform assimilation of a mechanical load between the metal and the fiber composite material through different metal portion and/or fiber portion in the structure of the connection zone coming from the fiber composite material. A fiber loop is formed in the connection zone and represents a material-consistent component in the part area of the connection zone. The metal is aluminum, magnesium or titanium or its alloys. The fiber composite material is a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic or glass fiber-reinforced plastic or aramide fiber-reinforced plastic or textile glass fiber and/or a fiber-reinforced light metal. The composite material consists of fiber ally in the form of thread, tapes, twist, roving, clutch, knitted items, weaves, felt, mate, net, grid and/or single- or multi-layered laminate. The fibers of the fiber composite material are carbon fibers, glass fibers, ceramic fibers, silicon carbide-fibers, coated fibers, aramid, boron fibers and/or metal fibers. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method for the production of a composite component.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The diagram shows a schematic representation of a composite component.
