The synthesis of Al/TiB 2  metal matrix composite using the in situ technique has been performed in the present study. Two halide salts, namely potassium hexa fluro titanate (K 2 TiF 6 ) and potassium tetra fluro borate (KBF 4 ) were introduced into an Al 6061 melt at 820 °C adding different amounts of TiB 2  particles, i. e. 4, 6 and 8 wt.-%. The stirring and holding times were maintained for all the casts at 30 minutes. The metal matrix composites were tested with respect to tensile strength and hardness in the as-casted condition. Tensile strength and hardness were found to increase with an increase of TiB 2 . The size and uniformity of the TiB 2  particles in the composites was corroborated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD), confirming the presence of TiB 2  in the composites.
