Conventional monolithic materials have limitations in achieving good combination of strength, stiffness, toughness and density. To overcome these shortcomings and to meet the ever increasing demand of modern day technology, composites are most promising materials of recent interest. The present research work involves the study of Al 6061-TiB2 composite through powder metallurgy. This method involves formation of reinforcements within the matrix by the chemical reaction of two or more compounds which also produces some changes in the matrix material within the vicinity. Titanium Diboride (TiB2) was the reinforcements in the matrix of Al 6061 {Al 97%-TiB2 3%, Al 94%- TiB2 6% and Al 91%- TiB2 9%} alloy which can be suitable for space, aircraft and automotive components at elevated temperatures. The mechanical properties in terms of hardness and impact test were carried out. The sample of Al 6061 alloy was also casted and tested for comparison.
