Disclosed are a plastic-metal composite material and a manufacturing method thereof. The method including: S1. injection molding: subjecting a mixture of a metal powder and a binder to injection molding to form a metal structural member of a preset shape; S2. degreasing and sintering: subjecting the metal structural member to degreasing and sintering to remove the binder, to form 0.5-2 μm micron-sized micropores on a surface of the metal structural member; S3. nanocrystallization: on the basis of the micron-sized micropores, forming 20-40 nm nano-sized micropores by etching with a chemical etching reagent; and S4. injection molding: placing the metal structural member filled with a chemical reagent in an injection mold for injection molding to be integrated with a plastic. The composite material is a product manufactured according to the method. The application solves the problem that the metal structural member is difficult to be molded.
