AZ91 magnesium alloy matrix composites with aluminosilicate glass cenospheres were fabricated successfully by the pressure infiltration method. Different parameters of the fabrication process, such as temperature of the mould and temperature of cenospheres were used. Influence of the temperature variation of particular parameters on the microstructure has been investigated. The microstructure of AZ91 magnesium alloy and fabricated composites have been investigated by light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results revealed that AZ91 magnesium alloy consists of α-Mg matrix and eutectic α-Mg17Al12 and a small amount of discontinuous precipitates of γ phase. The microstructure of matrix AZ91 in fabricated composites is characterized also by the presence of α-Mg matrix and eutectic α-Mg17Al12. However, in the composite fabricated by using the mould heated to 500 °C more discontinuous precipitates of γ phase were observed.
