Editing Metal matrix composite (section)

=== Liquid state methods ===
* Electroplating and electroforming: A solution containing metal ions loaded with reinforcing particles is co-deposited forming a composite material
* [[Stir casting]]: Discontinuous reinforcement is stirred into molten metal, which is allowed to solidify
* Pressure infiltration: Molten metal is infiltrated into the reinforcement through use a kind of pressure such as gas pressure
* [[Squeeze casting]]: Molten metal is injected into a form with fibers pre-placed inside it
* Spray deposition: Molten metal is sprayed onto a continuous fiber substrate
* Reactive processing: A [[chemical reaction]] occurs, with one of the reactants forming the matrix and the other the reinforcement
