To further improve the mechanical properties of Al-Si alloys. The phase, microstructure and mechanical properties of Al2O3/Al-20Si composites under different pressures were studied. The results show that the phase of Al2O3/Al-20Si composites are composed of α-Al phase, β-Si phase and Al2O3. Under the condition of hot-pressing sintering (0.02 GPa), a large number of Si phases with irregular shape and sharp angle are distributed on the α-Al matrix. Under high pressure solidification, the growth of primary Si phase is inhibited and the eutectic Si is spheroidized obviously. The microhardness of Al2O3/Al-20Si composite increases from 102.5 HV0.05 at 0.02 GPa to 156.4 HV0.05 at 4 GPa, which increases by 52.6%. The compressive strength increased from 381.5 MPa at 0.02 GPa to 469.1 MPa at 4 GPa, increasing by 23%. With the increase of solidification pressure, the fracture mechanism changes from cleavage fracture to quasi cleavage fracture.
