Interest in reinforcing Al alloy matrices with ceramic particles are mainly due to the low density, low coefficient of thermal expansion and high strength of the reinforcements. Metal-matrix composites are widely used in shipping, aerospace, automotive, and nuclear applications. Among the various useful alloys, Aluminium 6061 is typically characterized by properties such as fluidity, cast ability, corrosion resistance and high strength-weight ratio. Aluminium based MMCs have received increased attention in recent decades as engineering materials. Research attempts have been made in the past to reduce the cost processing of composites, decrease the weight of the composites, and increase the desired performance characteristics. In the present research, the effect of titanium carbide particles on their mechanical properties with Aluminium 6061 matrix has been reviewed. The hardness and tensile strength have been reported to increase with increasing weight percentage of Titanium carbide. The wear rate of the composites has been reported to decrease linearly with increasing weight percentage of Titanium carbide.
