ABSTRACT:
A method for producing a reinforced composite material. A molten matrix metal is heated to a temperature substantially greater than the melting point of the matrix metal. The matrix metal is poured into a mold containing a mass of reinforcing material, and an oxide layer formed from said molten matrix metal is ruptured so that the molten matrix metal infiltrates the mass of reinforcing material.
