To provide a wear resistant metal composite having excellent wear resistance and capable of being manufactured inexpensively.

This metal composite consists of a porous fly ash compact 1, prepared by compacting fly ashes 11 into prescribed shape, and a metal 2 impregnated into the pores in the inner part of the fly ash compact 1. The fly ash is allowed to appear at the surface of the wear resistant metal composite 7. It is preferable that inorganic fibers 12, such as alumina fibers, are contained in the inner part of the fly ash compact. As the metal 2, e.g. aluminum, etc., are used.
