A method to wind and to coat the continuous fibers with an easy-to-use handling technique for the whole manufacturing process is presented. The main aim is to optimize the winding procedure, which determines the fiber strand position and tension during the coating process. In this study, the production of thermally sprayed prepregs for the manufacturing of continuous fiber reinforced MMC by thixoforging is analysed. The UD fiber allows tailoring of the reinforcement to meet the direction of the component's load. One possibility to solve this problem is to reinforce the light metal with unidirectional fibers. Only the insufficient stiffness and thermal and fatigue strength prevented their usage in high-end applications. With their high specific strength and strain to failure values, aluminum alloys could be used for such applications. Low density and good mechanical properties are the basic requirements for lightweight structures in automotive and aerospace applications.
