When one considers the possibility of further processing (such as any treatment involving remelting, even if partial) of the material, this trait allows a more rigorous control of the interfaces. Composite samples have been produced using as matrix an Al-7Si-0.3Mg alloy reinforced with SiCp (granulometry: 120 μm; Vr = 0.30). These were rheocast at 583ºC, followed by forging and subsequent water-quenching. A structural characterisation (optical microscopy and XRD) of the as-received matrix material, as well as of the reinforced and non-reinforced rheocast material was performed. The phases identification will provide a basis for the understanding of the further processing where the rheocast material will be used as a raw material to produce functionally graded metal-matrix composites by centrifugal casting.&lt;/p&gt;
