 The paper presents the results of research of impact strength of 
 aluminum alloy EN AC-44200 based composite materials reinforced with
 </p>
 <p>
 alumina particles. The research was carried out applying the materials 
 produced by the pressure infiltration method of ceramic preforms
 </p>
 <p>
 made of Al2O3 particles of 3-6&#61549;m with the liquid EN AC-44200 Al alloy. 
 The research was aimed at determining the composite resistance
 </p>
 <p>
 to dynamic loads, taking into account the volume of reinforcing 
 particles (from 10 to 40% by volume) at an ambient of 23&#176;C and at
 </p>
 <p>
 elevated temperatures to a maximum of 300&#176;C. The results of this study 
 were referred to the unreinforced matrix EN AC-44200 and to its
 </p>
 <p>
 hardness and tensile strength. Based on microscopic studies, an analysis 
 and description of crack mechanics of the tested materials were
 </p>
 <p>
 performed. Structural analysis of a fracture surface, material 
 structures under the crack surfaces of the matrix and cracking of the
 </p>
 <p>
 reinforcing particles were performed.
