Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to a novel process for forming metal matrix composite bodies. Particularly, an infiltration enhancer and/or an infiltration enhancer precursor and/or an infiltrating atmosphere are in communication with a filler material (2) or a preform, at least at some point during the process, which permits molten matrix metal (3) to spontaneously infiltrate the filler material (2) or preform. Such spontaneous infiltration occurs without the requirement for the application of any pressure or vacuum.
