In the figure, (1) is a molded container with a filter (
2) and a decompression chamber (4) are in communication via the communication hole (3). The decompression chamber (4) is provided with a suction port (5) and is connected to a vacuum pump (not shown) or the like for depressurizing the chamber. (6) is a fiber dispersion liquid in which short fibers such as whiskers are sufficiently loosened and dispersed by strong stirring, and (7) is a container containing the fiber dispersion liquid (6). The cavity of the molded container (1) generally has the same shape as the desired fiber molded product.

。A high-pressure casting method and the like are known as methods for manufacturing fiber-reinforced metal using such fiber molded bodies. In this method, after filling a fiber molded body into a casting mold, molten matrix metal is injected into the casting mold, and the molten matrix metal is immediately pressurized with a plunger, etc., and the molten matrix metal is poured into the gaps between the fibers of the fiber molded body. This method produces fiber-reinforced metal by infiltrating the matrix metal and then cooling and solidifying the matrix metal. Furthermore, as an improvement method of the high-pressure casting method, a method has been proposed in which a fiber molded body is placed in a container, and the molded body is put into a casting mold such as a high-pressure casting method while being integrated with the container. )

どの型に直接入れる場合に生じる問題点として、以下の
問題点があった。When manufacturing fiber-reinforced metals using conventional fiber moldings using high-pressure casting methods, the following problems occur when the fiber moldings are placed directly into molds using high-pressure casting methods: .
(1)繊維成形体の強度があまり大きくない場合には高
圧鋳造時に受ける力などにより繊維成形体が変形または
破壊を生じ、健全な繊維強化金属が得られないことがし
ばしば生じる。(1) If the strength of the fiber molded body is not very high, the fiber molded body may be deformed or destroyed by the force received during high pressure casting, and a sound fiber reinforced metal often cannot be obtained.
(2)繊維成形体は一般にマトリックス金属の融点近く

ンスが小さい場合には、型に接した箇所の繊維成形体が
型によって急速に冷却される場合が生じ、その部分に溶
融マトリックス金属の浸透不良が生じることがある。(2) The fibrous molded body is generally preheated to a temperature close to or above the melting point of the matrix metal and then placed in a casting mold to facilitate penetration of the molten matrix into the fibrous molded body. However, if the clearance between the fiber compact and the mold is small, the fiber compact in the area in contact with the mold may be rapidly cooled by the mold, which may result in poor penetration of the molten matrix metal into that area. .
(3)繊維成形体と型とのクリアランスが大きい場合に

前に繊維成形体の全周を包み、繊維成形体内のガスが流
出できず、残留して鋳造欠陥の原因と成り易い。(3) When the clearance between the fiber molded body and the mold is large, the molten matrix metal wraps around the entire periphery of the fiber molded body before penetrating into the fiber molded body, preventing gas from flowing out and remaining This can easily cause casting defects.

の問題点があった。The improved method for solving the above problems, that is, the method of placing the fiber molded body in a container and casting it together with the container by high-pressure casting, etc., has the following problems because it is simply placed in the container.
(1)ガスの流出口がないため、容器底部においてマト
リックス金属の浸透不良が生じ易い。(1) Since there is no gas outlet, poor penetration of the matrix metal is likely to occur at the bottom of the container.
(2)容器に繊維成形体を詰める工程が新たに増す。(2) A new step is added to fill containers with fiber molded bodies.

ムおよびその製造方法を得ることを目的とする。In order to solve the conventional problems mentioned above, the inventors proposed a container with an opening and an outlet (unpublished).
This invention is a further improvement on this, and in particular, when molding fiber moldings from short fibers such as whiskers, it prevents deformation or destruction of the fiber moldings during high-pressure casting methods, and ensures penetration of molten matrix metal. and
The object of the present invention is to obtain a preform for manufacturing fiber-reinforced metal that can stably manufacture sound fiber-reinforced metal without poor penetration or casting defects at low cost, and a method for manufacturing the same.

。In this invention, after a metal container is installed in a fiber molded product manufacturing apparatus similar to conventional ones, a fiber dispersion liquid is injected into the metal container, the pressure is reduced in a vacuum chamber with a pump, etc., and the vacuum is sucked through a filter. The fibers accumulate on the filter surface and fill the metal container, and a fiber molded body is integrally molded with the metal container to obtain a preform for manufacturing fiber-reinforced metals.

不良が抑制される。The thus manufactured preform for manufacturing fiber-reinforced metal is preheated, placed in a mold, molten matrix metal is injected, and fiber-reinforced metal is manufactured by high-pressure casting or the like. In this case, the fiber molded body is directly molded with the metal container and placed in the mold during high-pressure casting, so the yield strength of the metal container prevents the fiber molded body from deforming or breaking. Handling of the heated fiber molded body becomes easy. - By providing a side opening and one or more through holes separately, the molten matrix metal flows in through the opening, and the gas inside the fiber molded body flows out through the through hole, thereby preventing poor penetration of the molten matrix metal. suppressed. Furthermore, the metal container has an effect on maintaining the temperature of the fiber molded body, thereby suppressing poor penetration of the molten matrix metal.
