The present work aims to develop Aluminum metal matrix composites by incorporating of reinforcements such that combination of best properties could be achieved. The metal base was selected was Aluminum 6061 and it is reinforced with varying volume percentage of Silicon carbide. These AMC were developed by using crucible casting technique in which predetermined reinforcement is added to the molten matrix is stirred well to obtain desired castings. The Rockwell hardness revealed that composite with 80 % AL & 20 % Sic shows highest hardness value and 90 % AL & 10 % Sic shows Impact strength-16 Joules/mm2 and tensile strength -91.08 N/mm2. Highly reinforced composites show higher variations due to the agglomeration of particles but impact strength were slightly affect due to hardness.
