Summary	An evaluation of the thermal field in metallic matrix composites reinforced with ceramic particles is given. In the same context, using the energy band theory it is evaluated the force due the solidification front, on the ceramic particles.
Keywords	thermal field, aluminium metal matrix, incorporation-expulsion phenomena, Seebeck effect.
