Well engineers have already succeeded at marrying aluminium and ceramics into a new material called glare. So why shouldn't it be possible ?

I have experience with aluminium impregnated with carbon fibres, this is also used for the gudgeon pins of Nascars, I believe its just been banned from F1.

Same weight as Al, same stiffness as steel.

The general term is matrix metal. High strength metallic crystals with melting points higher than aluminum are mixed with aluminum. Normally they use bromides, carbides and monocystals. Sometimes the price is reasonable. Specialized made some bicycles with M2 framses
