Abstract: The hypereutectic prealloyed Al-Si powders were prepared by gas atomization process. The microstructure and compacting ability of the atomized Al-Si powders were investigated. With increasing the gas pressure of the atomization, the average powder size and oxygen content were decreased. The size of primary eutectic Si particles in the as-atomized powders was about 8~10. As-atomized powders were hot-pressed into a cylindrical shape. Relative density of the hot-pressed samples was achieved about 96~99 % of theoretical density. Some properties of the samples were evaluated in this paper.
