Zusammenfassung:	PCT No. PCT/GB95/00071 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 4, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 4, 1996 PCT Filed Jan. 16, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/19455 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 20, 1995An method and apparatus is described for mixing solid particulates in a molten metal matrix to form a metal matrix composite product flow. The apparatus a refractory vessel to hold the metal matrix; a refractory conduit in communication with both the inlet and outlet of the refractory vessel so as to define a closed loop flow path. The inlet and outlet is spaced so as to encourage mixing within the vessel. A pump is provided to circulate the metal matrix to effect mixing. The apparatus and method further includes the metal matrix having a head with a vertical dimension in the excess of four times the cross sectional width of the conduit.
