    In this paper, an interesting technical problem is to be solved concerning in particular composites with a metallic matrix and with continual strengthening fibres. The problem concerns metal transport in the liquid condition, using different pressure inlets and outlets of the form. The attempt to analyse the bonding among the fibres and metallic matrix is described. Analysis of the problem of bonding between the fibres and metallic matrix solved. Continuous fibre-reinforced metal matrix composites as a technological process is very interesting. Casting of continuous fibres is an especially appropriate fabrication technology when these materials are to be used in complex-shaped parts, or the components of an internal combustion engine. It is also an excellent method for producing these materials in thick section or in sections containing a variety of fibre orientations. However, casting in ambient atmosphere is not as well suited to the fabrication of thin, flat sheets, because of the difficulty in feeding molten metal over long distances through thin cross sections. If the pouring process is used in a high vacuum, we should expect very good or excellent results. In preparing the fibre preform, the arrangement of the fibres into the orientation, packing density and size desired in the finished part must be maintained. However, in both preform preparation and casting, significant modifications to the standard procedures must be made when casting metal composites.
