This study investigates the effects of adding SIC particles to aluminum 8011 alloy. The composite was prepared with different weight percent (3.5, 7 and 10) SIC particles by stir casting technology. The density of the composite is increased due to the higher particles density of SIC compared to the aluminum 8011 alloy. Hardness, Impact (Izod) and Tensile tests are performed to investigate the mechanical properties of composites. Hardness and tensile strength have been significantly improved to 10% of weight of SIC particles. What new about this archiving work is the fact that few experiments have been performed on aluminum 8011 /SIC composites, and the experiments performed provide importance information about stir casting.

Keywords- Aluminum 8011, Sic, Metal matrix composite, Mechanical properties.
