Abstract

A method of forming a metal matrix composite component includes positioning a preform including an electrically non-conductive fibrous material in a shaping tool. The fibrous material is pre-coated. The method includes flowing a molten metal comprising zinc into the shaping tool so that at least a portion of the preform is enveloped by the molten metal to form the metal matrix composite component; and cooling the metal matrix composite component.
