Aluminum is the light weight metal used in various applications of Civil construction, Mechanical & Aeronautical machines etc. next to steels. The banana fibres are having various applications like natural absorbent remediation agent, in making paper cards, tea bags, fabric materials and rope. Also the ash of banana leaf sheath having pozzolanic property and used in green concrete. In aluminum matrix composite(AMC) aluminum is the matrix which forms network and other non-metallic material embedded into the matrix(Banana leaf sheath). Stir casting technique is the most promising and economical technique for processing MMC. In this aluminium alloy is made by using banana leaf sheath ash with aluminium 8011, it provides desirable material properties as the Particulate composite offer several advantages like strengthening the material and also provides specific material properties.
