Reinforcement of a deposited structure forming a metal matrix composite

1. A reinforced metallic structure formed by:

applying a metallic fiber interface coating circumferentially around each of a plurality of fibers, the metallic fiber interface coating including a metal;

positioning the plurality of fibers on a formation surface of a tool after applying the metallic fiber interface coating, the formation surface corresponding to a desired structure shape of the reinforced metallic structure;

depositing a layer of metal material on a first side the plurality of fibers using a cold-spray technique; and

removing the layer of metal material with the plurality of fibers from the tool to create the reinforced metallic structure.

2. The reinforced metallic structure of claim 1 , further comprising:

depositing a base layer of metal material on the formation surface of the tool using the cold-spray technique prior to positioning the plurality of fibers on the formation surface.

3. The reinforced metallic structure of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fibers on the formation surface of the tool include a first group of the plurality of fibers oriented in a direction parallel to each other.

4. The reinforced metallic structure of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of fibers on the formation surface of the tool include a second group of the plurality of fibers oriented parallel to each other and perpendicular to the first group of the plurality of fibers.

5. The reinforced metallic structure of claim 1 , further comprising:

flipping the reinforced metallic structure so a second side of the plurality of fibers faces a cold-spray applicator; and

applying a second layer of metal material to the second side of the plurality of fibers.
