The intentions of this exertion is to lessons about the microstructures, mechanical properties and wear characteristics of as cast silicon carbide (SiC) non-breakable aluminum matrix composites (AMCs). AMCs of changeable Silicon carbide (SiC) substance (0, 7, 14 and 24 wt. %) were equipped by stir casting process. Microstructures, Vickers hardness, tensile strength and wear performance of the prepared composites were analyzed. The results show those introducing Silicon carbide (SiC) reinforcements in aluminum (Al) matrix increased hardness and tensile strength and 28 wt. % Silicon carbide (SiC) reinforced aluminum matrix composites showed maximum hardness and tensile strength. Microstructure observation exposed clustering and non-homogeneous distribution of Silicon carbide (SiC) particles in the Al matrix. Porosities were observed in microstructures and increased with increasing wt. % of Silicon carbide (SiC) reinforcements in aluminum matrix composites. Pin-on-disc wear test indicated that reinforcing Al matrix with Silicon carbide (SiC) particles increased wear resistance
