Improvement of welding techniques to join aluminum metal matrix composite holds key to substitute convectional aluminium alloys in numerous applications. In the present investigation Al 6061 are reinforce with Micro titanium plus E- glass fibre. By using, stir casting Plates of six mm thickness are prepared from the casting and effectively butt joined using FSW. Cylindrical tool by incline angle of 1° used for FSW with varying constraints like tool rotational speed and traverse feed. The tool rotating speeds of 1000, 1100, 1200 rpm and traverse feed of 0.67, 0.83 and 1 mm/sec are incorporated. Tensile test specimens are prepared according to ASTM standards and the utmost ultimate tensile strength obtained for 1000 rpm speed and 0.67mm/sec feed. Wear performance of the composite was evaluated by pin-on-disc wear testing with changeable loads of 0.5, 1, 1.5kg. The minimum value of wear loss at 1kg load obtained are 1200rpm speed and 1 mm/sec feed.
