In a method for producing a mixture of a metallic matrix material and an additive, a metallic bulk material is molten in a multi-shaft screw machine in a heating zone thereof by means of an inductive heating device to form a metal matrix material. As the at least one housing portion of the housing of the multi-shaft screw machine is made of a non-magnetic and electrically non-conductive material at least partly in the heating zone, a high and efficient energy input for melting the metallic bulk material is achievable in a simple manner. The additive for producing the mixture is admixed to the metallic matrix material by means of treatment element shafts of the multi-shaft screw machine.

There is provided a method of manufacturing a continuous wire comprising forming a strip formed from at least one metallic material into a channel, placing at least one powder into the channel and sealing edges of the channel together to produce a wire, wherein the method further comprises mixing the powder with a carrier liquid to create a slurry and placing the slurry into the channel. The carrier liquid is chemically inert with respect to the at least one powder.

A metal matrix composite is provided, including a metal, inorganic particles, and discontinuous fibers. The inorganic particles and the discontinuous fibers are dispersed in the metal. The metal includes aluminum, magnesium, or alloys thereof. The inorganic particles have an envelope density that is at least 30% less than a density of the metal. The metal matrix composite has a lower envelope density than the matrix metal while retaining a substantial amount of the mechanical properties of the metal.
