The processing cost of MMC is often higher than the high processing temperature required by polymer matrix composites. The manufacture of metal matrix composites usually requires the use of an intermediate, called a preform, whose shape is sheet, linear, cylindrical or near net shape. The size and shape of the prefabricated parts are the same as the composite products to be manufactured. Preforms contain reinforcing materials, usually bonded together by polymers (such as acrylic acid, styrene), ceramics (such as silicon dioxide, aluminum metaphosphate), or adhesives of the base metal itself. For example, a continuous fiber is wound around the drum and combined with resin, and then the wound fiber drum is cut from the drum and stretched into a sheet. In the subsequent composite manufacturing process, the organic binder evaporated. For example, short fibers are combined with ceramic or polymer adhesives and liquid carriers to form a slurry, which is then filtered or wet pressed under pressure to form a wet "cake" and then dried to form a preform. When the base metal is used as the binder, the continuous fiber bundle is immersed in the base metal melt for infiltration, so as to form the wire preform; alternatively, the fiber placed on the base metal foil is covered with the spraying base metal and fixed in a proper position, so as to form the spraying preform.
