Abstract

PURPOSE:To make better the permeation of a matrix metal into a fiber and to obtain a prepreg sheet having an elaborated matrix layer by preheating a fiber arranged in one direction and spraying a molten matrix metal thereon. CONSTITUTION:The bundle of a long fiber consisting of SiC, Si-Ti-O-C, etc., is split and is arranged in one direction. The fiber is passed into a preheating furnace, etc., and is preheated to about 500-600 deg.C, on which Al or the like melted in a short time is sprayed by plasma thermal spraying, etc., to form a fiber reinforced metal-based prepreg sheet. By this method, a matrix layer in the sheet is elaborated to increase the adhesive characteristics of the matrix metal to be thermal-sprayed and the long fiber. In the use of the sheet, a fiber reinforced metallic composite material having high strength can be manufactured.

On the other hand, according to the present invention, since the long fibers are preheated, the thermal spray particles are not rapidly cooled on the fiber surface, and the viscosity of the thermal spray particles is not rapidly lost, so the matrix layer becomes dense. Adhesion between the fiber surface and the thermal spray particles is also improved. Furthermore, since the fluidity of the thermal spray particles is maintained, their wrap around between the long fibers of the matrix metal is also improved.
