Abstract: The developments in the area of aerospace, advancing activities in aircraft field and automotive industry emerges the exploit of new materials. In such applications, the role of Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) is inevitable. In the proposed article, the fabrication of Al (6351) alloy reinforced with SiC and varying weight proportion of Boron Carbide (B4C) was done through stir casting process. The characterization of prepared composite materials is evaluated to ensure the homogeneous distribution of reinforced particulates in Al matrix. The existence of alloying elements and their mapping is done through EDS. Moreover, the enhancement of physical and mechanical behavior of the fabricated composites is also discussed in detail.
