Aluminium metal matrix composites have developed for its attractive properties and performances. Graphite- reinforced- aluminium composites have developed with varying the volume percentage (vol. %) of reinforcement, typical variations of graphite have conducted from 2.28 % to 13.19 %. Presence of different phases after sintering have specified by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Surface morphology of each developed metal has studied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ultimate tensile strength (UTS) has computed from the measured hardness as per ASTM A 370-68 standards. Other mechanical properties like tensile strength and young’s modulus (also termed as modulus of elasticity) have found out and reported.
