Abstract
A process for casing a fiber-reinforced metal body by placing a shaped fibrous article made of a reinforcing fiber into a cavity in a casting mold and filling a molten metal into the shaped fibrous article to solidify it, the process further including the steps of pouring the molten metal into the cavity from the lower portion thereof, while venting gas present within the cavity through a gas vent passage having a very small opening communicating with the upper portion of the cavity, and closing the gas vent passage and completely solidifying the molten metal under a higher pressure.
