Abstract

A preform wire for fiber reinforced metal composite consisting of a metal/silicon carbide fiber composite material is light in weight and excellent in strength and elasticity, and can be easily obtained by impregnating a silicon carbide fiber bundle with a molten metal which is kept vibrated by means of an ultrasonic wave vibration apparatus having a hole for cooling water or a cooling-water jacket located at the node of the half-wavelength of the ultrasonic wave created by the vibration apparatus.
