The reinforcement of metals with ceramic particles have generated a new family of composite materials for the last two decades and are used widely for structural components subjected various loading. Cyclic loading draws attention because of resistance the material has to offer for fatigue failure. This work is carried out to understand the fatigue behavior of aluminium 6061 reinforced with various SiC particles size and weight% for varying stress levels. Stir casting method is used to prepare the specimen owing to its simple and economical aspects and expect isotropic properties. It is observed that increased percentage of reinforcement lead to decrease in the fatigue, this is because the composites had lower cyclic ductility and the high local deformation occurrence in the matrix particles reinforcement interface, and this leads to the creation of fatigue damage region for the failure. Further larger size of the particles tends to increase the fatigue
