The effect of fabrication process on the microstructure and dynamic properties of SiCp/Al composites was studied in this paper. Pure Al matrix composites reinforced with 20 vol.% SiC particles were fabricated by spark plasma sintering, and the pre-blended powders were prepared by two different processes. One was to mix the powders in conical flask by using a mechanical stirrer, and the other was the mechanical alloying process by using a planetary ball mill. The sintering temperature was also explored. The conventional split Hopkinson pressure bar was used to test the dynamic properties of these composites. The results show that the sintering temperature significantly affects the consolidation of the composites. The composites, which have not been fully densified, have very loose microstructure and poor mechanical properties. Mechanical alloying process can improve the microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites. These composites are rate dependent, their strengths increase with increasing strain rates.
