Aluminium compound materials saw to be the best choice with its exceptional utmost of sketching out the novel material for gaining desired properties. Aluminium alloy based composite materials are expanding broad affirmation for aeronautics application in perspective on their high strength combined with low density or light weight. In the present concerned work, an endeavour is put to prepare and focus the tensile and compressive behaviour of Aluminium alloy LM13 and Solid Glass Microspheres (SGM) particulates Composite with perspective to get better properties with light weight. Stir casting method was used to manufacture these aluminium alloy LM13 and SGM particulate composite with 10 v%, 15 v% and 20 v% of reinforcement. Based on ASTM benchmarks, the composite samples were prepared and tested, and the results obtained were then analysed. A notable improvement was perceived in the strength of tensile and compressive capacities of the developed metal matrix composites (MMC).

Cast aluminium alloy mica particle composites of varying mica content were tested in tension, compression, and impact. With 2.2 percent mica (size range 40μm – 120μm) the tensile and compression strengths of aluminium alloy decreased by 56 and 22 percent, respectively. The corresponding decreases in percent elongation and percent reduction are 49 and 39 percent. Previous work [2] shows that despite this decrease in strength the composite with 2.5 percent mica and having an UTS of 15 kg/mm2 and compression strength of 28 kg/mm2 performs well as a bearing material under severe running conditions. The differences in strength characteristics of cast aluminium-mica particle composites between tension and compression suggests that, as in cast iron, expansion of voids at the matrix particle interface may be the guiding mechanism of the deformation. SEM studies show that on the tensile fractured specimen surface, there are large voids at the particle matrix interface.
