In this present work, an attempt is made to prepare and study the mechanical properties of Al6061-E-Glass fiber composite, in which the length of the E-Glass fiber is 3 mm and the diameter is 17µm.The Al6061 Alloy was reinforced with different wt% of E-glass fiber i.e. 3wt%, 6wt%, 9wt% and 12wt% which were fabricated by using Stir Casting method. The ingots were subjected to heat treatment to optimize the properties, the casted specimens were of 170mm length and 20 mm in diameter.The composite specimens were machined as per ASTM E8M-2009 test standards and were subjected to a tensile test in Universal Testing Machine (UTM) at room temperature.The test gives the graphs of Load(KN) vs Displacement(mm) and Stress(N/mm2) vs Strain(%) and the mechanical properties like tensile strength and Young’s modulus (E) of the unreinforced alloy i.e. pure Al6061 specimen and the composites specimens have been measured. After the tensile testing of all the specimens, it has been observed that addition of E-Glass fiber significantly improves ultimate tensile strength and also young’s modulus (E) or Modulus of Elasticity as compared with that of unreinforced matrix i.e. pure Al6061.
