Abstract	The aim of this study is to improve the understanding of the effect of reaction products at the interface between the fiber and the matrix on mechanical properties. The samples were made by squeeze-casting, using Al₂O₃-SiO₂ preforms as a reinforcement for two aluminum alloys. Following the sample preparation, some samples were heat treated in order to produce a reaction at the alloy-fiber interface. There were different reaction zone thicknesses corresponding to the different heat treatments. Fractographic examinations were done to observe the fracture behavior of the matrix and fiber phases after mechanical testing. These observations suggest the importance of good bonding at the interface between the fiber and the matrix with or without reaction products.
