Abstract

A process is provided for the production of fibre-reinforced light-metal castings by die casting. A fibre moulding is introduced into an auxiliary mould and the auxiliary mould is heated to an optimum temperature above the melting point of the light metal. The auxiliary mould is then inserted with positive fit into a die casting mould corresponding to the outer contour of the auxiliary mould and filled with light metal under pressure. The fibre moulding can optionally be stabilized by means of a temporary organic binder which decomposes when the auxiliary mould is heated.
