The role of engineering substances within the improvement of cutting-edge era like metallic Matrix Composites (MMCs) have evoked a eager hobby nowadays for capacity programs in aerospace and car industries as a result of their advanced power. Aluminium (6061) and Boron Carbide (Powder) is chosen for reinforcement material and matrix respectively. Al–B4C composites containing special weight probabilities 3.5 %, 7.0% and 10.5% of B4C have been fabricated by way of stir casting Technique. Experiments are conducted with the aid of various weight fraction of B4C (3.5%, 7.0% and 10.5%), at the same time as maintaining all other parameters regular. The compositions of their small structural options are determined through scientific discipline magnifier..
