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.

Method of producing a preform wire, sheet or tape fiber reinforced metal

An electromagnetic wave absorber comprising an electromagnetic wave absorbing layer consisting essentially of silicon carbide fibers, which layer may be applied to a metal plate. The wave absorber comprising the absorbing layer-applied metal plate exerts wave absorption expressed in terms of a wave attenuation which is at least 10 dB higher than the inherent attenuation caused by reflection of the wave by the absorbing layer-free original metal plate, the wave used being one which has a frequency of 8-16 GHz. Further, the silicon carbide fibers may be made into woven cloths, mat felts or the like which are laminated together and then composited with a synthetic resin or ceramics to prepare the wave absorbing layer.
