In a method for manufacturing a composite-metal-forming material, heating a metal material a Mg alloy or an Al alloy is heated to a temperature in a region where a solid and a liquid are both present to thereby yield a semi-molten metal material in a semi-molten state. An additive material is introduced to the semi-molten metal material and kneading is performed to obtain a composite metal material. The composite metal material is heated to a solution temperature of the metal material and a solution treatment is performed to thereby yield a composite-metal-forming material. The additive material introduced is a carbon nano-composite material formed by mixing a carbon nanomaterial and a metal powder to obtain a carbon nano-composite metal powder, compacting the carbon nano-composite metal powder into a solid to obtain a preform, heating the preform in a vacuum, inert gas, or non-oxidizing gas atmosphere to a temperature in a region where a solid and a liquid are both present, and applying pressure to the heated preform.

A device for melting, storing, and feeding a metal material is provided which can store a large amount of molten metal material corresponding to molding cycles with a compact configuration, using barrels to melt bar-shaped metal materials and a tank-and-barrel storage unit to store the molten metal material. The storage unit for the molten metal material is composed of an upper storage tank and a lower material temperature control barrel having a smaller diameter, the barrel being perpendicularly arranged under and in communication with the bottom center of the tank. The melting barrels for bar-shaped metal materials are made of barrel bodies having an inside diameter and a length appropriate to accommodate the bar-shaped metal materials. A more than one melting barrel is vertically arranged in parallel on a lid member of the storage tank, with their bottom openings facing the inside of the storage tank.

A method of preventing leaking of molten metal from a nozzle in an injection apparatus comprising, metering the molten metal by travel of a plunger head backward from a most forward position to a most backward position at the rear of a supply opening while maintaining nozzle contact after completion of an injection step and supplying molten metal from a furnace into a cylinder body through the supply opening, after completion of the metering, closing the supply opening by travel of the plunger head forward at a low speed from the backward position to a stand-by position ahead of the supply opening for cutting off the communication between the molten metal in the cylinder body and the molten metal in the furnace.
