The research paper reports on the processing of titanium carbide (TiC) strengthened aluminium metal matrix composite using a stir casting method. Al 6061 and TiC were used as starting materials for synthesizing Al-1.5TiC composite in a resistance furnace. The stir casting technique was followed owing to its simplicity and economic benefits. Microstructural studies were carried out using image analyser and micrographs revealed even dispersal of reinforcement in the alloy, while energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) studies confirmed the presence of corresponding elements and phase in the composite.
