Description Carbon fibre reinforced Al-12% Si alloy composite has been fabricated by pre-treating the fibres with K2ZrF6 followed by molten alloy infiltration and subsequent hot pressing of the preforms. The infiltration conditions were arrived at based on the measurement of tensile strength of the fibres extracted from the preforms. The fibre volume per cent of 20 was found to result in composite tensile strength of about 240 MPa as compared to tensile strength of 100 M Pa for the unreinforced matrix. Characterization of the interface revealed the formation of ZrSi2 and diffusion of potassium and aluminium into the fibre. The interfacial bonding was strong as is evinced by the absence of fibre pull-out on to the fracture surface.
