%X The Al/fly ash composites are fabricated by liquid reactive sintering P/M process with fly ash particles as intensifying phases. The reactivity and newly formed phases during liquid sintering process have been analyzed by combing Thermochemicdl data base calculation and XRD characterization. The results show that some of constituents in fly ash have reacted with liquid aluminum so that the elemental Si, Fe, Ti as well as some amount of intermetallic compounds occur. The properties of aluminum/fly ash composites have been improved. With the fraction of fly ash increase, the composite density decreases; the hardness and the modulus of the composite increases, and the composite wear resistance are significantly increased. The fly ash reinforced composites represent a sort of low cost product with possible widespread applications in the automotive, small engine, and electromechanical machinery sectors.
