Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a linear composite material comprising the steps of:continuously introducing a linear material serving as a core material through an inlet sealing portion formed in the bottom portion of an impregnating tank containing a molten material for a matrix; pressurizing said molten material inside said tank by supplying a pressurized gas inside said tank; drawing said linear material impregnated with said material for the matrix in a drawing portion, which is formed adjacent to the liquid level of said molten material for the matrix, and which is housed in the impregnation tank; and continuously extracting said linear material impregnated with said material for the matrix through an outlet sealing portion formed in said impregnating tank, wherein the surface of said linear composite material is coated with metal by a metal coating device disposed in contact with said outlet sealing portion of said impregnating tank.
