The expansion of manufacturing industries has somewhere led to increase in the use of composite materials. Nowadays metal matrix composite (MMC) are because of their light weight, high strength, good corrosion, wear resistance and low thermal coefficient of expansion. Stir casting is one of the easiest and oldest methods of manufacturing MMC. The present research work is about the manufacturing of aluminum matrix composite (AMC) by stir casting technique where Al6061 is the matrix or the base material and molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) in powder form is the reinforcement material. Numbers of mechanical tests are performed on prepared composite specimen and then compare the result of different percentage composition with the base alloy. Optical microscope is used for microstructure studies.
