The Compound casting method was used to produce an Al/Ni bimetal composite. The mechanisms of formation of the reinforcing intermetallic phases were studied and the produced bimetal composite’s microstructure was then characterized. The results showed that the Al/Ni interface consisted of two intermetallic layers including Al{sub 3}Ni{sub 2} and Al{sub 3}Ni. It is suggested that the Al{sub 3}Ni reinforcing particles of the composite originated from two sources. (1) Some Al{sub 3}Ni particles detached from the Al{sub 3}Ni layer formed at the interface between the Ni core and the Al melt and dispersed in the liquid Al and (2) Al-Al{sub 3}Ni eutectic phase, which formed during the solidification process. The increase in the temperature led to the formation of more reinforcing particles and extended the depth of dispersion of the particles in the Al matrix.
