Introduction of nonmetallic particles to the melt of light metals is the main and first bottleneck to overcome in the technology for producing high performance metal matrix composites (MMC). The second bottleneck is the uniform distribution of these particles in the liquid and, eventually, the solid matrix. External fields applied to the liquid/particles mixture are known to facilitate wetting, mixing and distribution of the particles. This paper gives an overview on the application of intensive melt shearing and ultrasonic cavitation to the technology of MMC based on aluminum. The mechanisms are discussed and examples are given. The outlook of a new European program on the application of external fields in liquid metal processing ExoMet (EC grant 280421) is presented.
