The processes of impregnation at high and low pressures have been studied. The technological regimes and individual process parameters are presented. The impregnation of the strengthening phase with a liquid matrix provides a strong bond between the matrix and fiber. As a result, high-strength mechanical properties of the composite material are obtained, as well as a sharp matrix-fiber interface is provided. Reinforcement takes place as a continuous action of strengthening phases, as well as hardening with discrete fibers. Both continuous casting processes and centrifugal casting for discrete reinforcement are used.
