Abstract The microstructure of SiCp-reinforced A356 cast Al metal-matrix composite (MMC) has been investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. It is found that the MMC contains β-SiC, (β + γ2) SiC composite, eutectic Si, GP zones of Si sequence, a new J phase and the amorphous phase Al x Si9Ca2. The γ2-SiC is lathlike with a triclinic crystal structure having a=0.308 nm, b=0.305 nm, c=1.262 nm, α= 93.8 °, β = 90.0 °, and γ = 60.0 °. The J phase is bulk-like with a C-face-centred orthorhombic crystal structure having a = 0.680 nm, b = 1.170 nm and c = 0.826 nm.
