The thermal strain evolution of the short fiber reinforced AlSi12CuMgNi piston alloy and AE42 magnesium alloy was investigated during thermal cycling. Effects of reinforcement, fiber orientation, thermal cycle and heat treatment on thermal strain were discussed. The addition of the Saffil® short fibers is more effective in improving the dimensional stability of the magnesium alloy.
