This paper presents the investigation of moderate properties of solidified Al (LM6)+SiCp metal matrix composite (AMMC). These AMMC is fabricated by considering five different parts of casting and different weight of SiCp for reinforcement. The SiCp wt. % is varied from 5 wt. % to 15 wt. % with a step size 5 %. During casting, temperature is measured using K-thermocouple and temperature vs. solidification curve is traced. These results are compared with the solidification results of Al (LM6) alloy. It is observed that the solidifying duration of AMMC increased as well as decreased liquid temperature by adding SiCp to it. The trend of the curve is also presented that the cooling rate and the duration of solidification are different for different part of casting. Mechanical property of the each five parts of casting is tabulated. It is observed from the properties that the mechanical properties of AMMC increased by increasing the wt. % of the reinforced particles SiCp.
