Abstract: In the research work, preparation of Al-Si-Mg alloy-based composites (AMCs) which have been effectively made via economical casting method. AA6351/SiC AMCs included with diverse mass concentration (0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 wt.%) were fabricated via by stir casting method. The effect of hard and brittle SiC particle on the flexural strength (FS), ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and ultimate compression strength (UCS) of the proposed AMCs were assessed. The proposed AMCs and basic alloy were portrayed through scanning electron microscope machine. The examined outcomes exhibit that the mechanical characteristics of the proposed AMCs are boosted by enhancing the SiCp content. SEM photograph illustrates the nearly homogeneous dispersion of SiCp content all over the AA6351 matrix.
