Provided is a fiber-reinforced resin material molding comprising: a fiber bundle comprising a plurality of reinforcing fibers; and a matrix resin, wherein a coefficient of variation in fiber content of the reinforcing fibers per unit zone of 0.1 mm square on a cut face along a thickness direction is 40% or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A fiber-reinforced resin material molding comprising: a fiber bundle comprising a plurality of reinforcing fibers; and a matrix resin, wherein a coefficient of variation in fiber content of the reinforcing fibers per unit zone of 0.1 mm square on a cut face along a thickness direction of the fiber-reinforced resin material molding is 40% or less, wherein a ratio of respective flexural moduluses of elasticity along respective directions of two orthogonal directions in the fiber-reinforced resin material molding is from 0.8:1 to 1:0.8 and coefficients of variation in flexural moduluses of elasticity along the respective directions are both from 5 to 15. 2. The fiber-reinforced resin material molding according to claim 1 , wherein an average fiber length of the reinforcing fibers is from 5 to 100 mm. 3. The fiber-reinforced resin material molding according to claim 1 , wherein a direction of a fiber axis of the fiber bundle on a cut face along a plane direction is substantially randomly distributed. 4. The fiber-reinforced resin material molding according to claim 1 , wherein the coefficient of variation is 10% or more. 5. The fiber-reinforced resin material molding according to claim 1 , wherein an average value of fiber contents of the reinforcing fibers per unit zone of 0.1 mm square on a cut face along a thickness direction of the fiber-reinforced resin material molding is from 50% to 60%. 6. The fiber-reinforced resin material molding according to claim 1 , wherein the matrix resin is a thermosetting resin. 7. A method for manufacturing the fiber-reinforced resin material molding according to claim 1 , the method comprising: molding the fiber reinforced resin material molding from a sheet-shaped fiber-reinforced resin material wherein a matrix resin has penetrated between dispersed carbon fiber bundles, and of which a degree of roughness β determined by the following Equations (1) to (3) is from 0.5 to 4.5 when a diffracted X-ray having a diffraction angle 2θ of 25.4° is detected by an X-ray diffraction method: β = ∫ 0 360 ⁢  f ⁡ ( ϕ )  ⁢ d ⁢ ⁢ ϕ × 1 360 = ( ∑ i = 2 N ⁢ ⁢ (  f ⁡ ( ϕ i )  +  f ⁡ ( ϕ i - 1 )  ) × d ⁢ ⁢ ϕ × 1 2 ) × 1 360 ( 1 ) in Equation (1), f(ϕ i ) is a brightness which is represented by the following Equation (2) and obtained by subtracting an average brightness from a brightness (I(ϕ i )) at an i-th rotation angle (ϕ i ) in X-ray diffraction measurement and dϕ is a step size in the X-ray diffraction measurement, I(ϕ i ) is normalized so that an integrated intensity represented by the following Equation (3) is 10,000, f ⁡ ( ϕ i ) = I ⁡ ( ϕ i )
