The stability of K_2O·8TiO_2 whiskers and the microstructures of the interfaces in K_2O·8TiO_2 whisker reinforced ZL109 aluminum composites under different heat treatment conditions were investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy(TEM) , mostly by high resolution TEM( HRTEM). It was found that K_2O·8TiO_2 whiskers were not very stable.The edge of the whiskers decomposed and a TiO interfacial layer formed during the process of fabricating K_2O·8TiO_2/ ZL109Al composite,and so the interior with increasing temperature and time of heatreatment. Two kinds of interfacial microstructures between the whiskers and the matrix were characterized; one was the TiO layer and the other was a nano scale amorphous transition layer. A few MgAl_2O_4 particles were also observed at the whisker/ matrix interfaces.

A newly developed whisker K_(2)O 6TiO_(2) reinforced 6061 Al composite was prepared by squeeze casting process. The flexural strength of the composite is 518MPa, and decreases to 490 M Pa after T6 treatment.The hardness of the composite also shows the similar change while T6 treating. The results of HRTEMobservation may explaine this property change. It was considered that there is a continuous TiO layer at the whisker-matrix interface, which is easily to react with the segregated Mg and to form MgTi_(2)O_(4), MgAl_(2)O_(4). The thickening of TiO layer after T6 treatment is the main reason resulting in strength degradation of composite.
