Metal matrix composites of aluminum alloy with silicon carbide reinforcement are useful in aerospace, automobile and general engineering industries because of their favourable microstructure and mechanical behavior. Composites of aluminum alloy LM12 and silicon carbide were fabricated by using stir casting technique. Compression and tensile test conducted, a significant improvement in material strength is observed in aluminum alloy LM12 metal matrix composite as compared to the alloy without silicon carbide addition. Cast base metal and its composites were found to fairly predominantly in brittle mode during the Compression and tensile test. During, casting silicon carbide, the content composites varies 0 to 20% Weight. Casting technique and characterization of aluminum alloy LM 12 and silicon carbide metal matrix composite (MMC) are described in the present paper.
