Effects of processing parameters on the fiber length and the interfacial reaction between fibers and aluminium have been studied. Composites with different fiber volume fraction (up to 15vol. %) were tested on their longitudinal stiffness and tensile strength at room as well as elevated temperatures to investigate the strengthening effect caused by addition of fibers into the matrix material. An experiment of annealing of the composites was done to study the influence of annealing time and temperature on the interfacial bonding strength and on the amount of reaction product (A14C3)at the interface. INTRODUCTION Carbon fibers (CF) possess highest specific stiffness compared with other ceramic reinforcements. In addition, they are commercially available at relative low cost and they are not health hazardous. These properties makes them attractive as a reinforcement for light metals such as aluminum and its alloys. However, interfacial reaction at higher temperatures requires the protection of the fibers, especially when the composite is prepared using liquid matrix [I], which make
