Abstract: Composite materials which main constituent part is a metal are called Metal Matrix Composites. The other compounds may be metal too, ceramics or even organics. They are well known for their excellent thermo physical and mechanical properties. Reinforcement is used to improve different properties of main material, such as wear resistance, hardness, fatigue resistance, friction coefficient, thermal conductivity and others.As a result, during the last years, MMCs have found a lot of application in automobile industry for the production of breaks and parts of engines and in aerospace industry for the production of structural components, as well as in electrical and electronic industry and in many other applications. MMCs can be produced by many ways, such as, powder blending and consolidation, foil diffusion bonding, electroplating, spray deposition, stir casting and others. In this research stir casting was used as processing technique for the production of Aluminum Metal Matrix composites reinforced by silicon carbide (SiC) particles.The morphologies of the produced composite material were examined using optical microscope. And also, mechanical properties like hardness and tensile strength of developed composite material with varying SiC weight percentage were tested. The composite was prepared by �Stir Casting Method�. Mechanical properties of the samples are measured and validated. The tested samples are examined using Scanning Electron microscope (SEM) for the characterization of microstructure on the surface of composites. The results of the research work show that the proposed composites are compared with Al based metal matrix composites at corresponding values of test parameters.
