A process for producing a composite component

The invention relates to a process for producing a composite component (36) with a casting apparatus (35), wherein the composite member is formed of a metal matrix composite of carbon fibers and a metal or a metal alloy, of the carbon fibers, a fiber composite is formed, from the fiber composite, a preform (52) is formed, wherein the preform is at least partially infiltrated with molten metal, the casting apparatus, a mold (37) and a via a runner (48) with the mold directly connected casting container (38) for receiving molten metal , wherein the preform is disposed in the mold, wherein the casting container is filled with molten metal before pivoting, wherein the casting mold is pivoted together with the teeming vessel, such that the molten metal flows into the mold.
