Abstract: The study is intended to investigate mechanical properties of LM6 based metal matrix composite, where Albite particulates are character enhancing reinforcement. Composites were fabricated by chill casting process utilizing copper as a chill. Specimens were prepared as per ASTM standards at different weight percentages of Albite varied from 0 to 12 with an increment of 3. The microstructure study clearly indicates the uniform distribution of Albite particulate in matrix alloy. These results revealed that increase in weight percentage of Albite as reinforcement in LM6 matrix alloy increases the tensile strength, compressive strength and hardness giving rise to the improved microstructure of composite.
