In this research work an effort has been made to prepare hybrid Aluminium metal matrix composite to study its mechanical properties. Preparation of hybrid aluminium (Al 6061) metal matrix composite is made by reinforcing nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Multiwall carbon nano tubes (MWCNT) by Stir casting method. Mechanical test was carried out on the tensile sample prepared from the cast specimen of different composition. The hardness test shows addition of reinforced Silicon Carbide and multiwall carbon nano tubes increases the hardness value. The advantage of hardness materials are of having a high tensile strength and toughness combined with low density. The Aluminium (Al 6061) based metal matrix composite is used for structural, aerospace, marine and automobile applications for its light weight, high strength and low production cost. The result reveals that the addition of Silicon Carbide and Multiwall Carbon nano tube particles in Aluminium (Al 6061) metal matrix improves the mechanical properties.
