The objective of the research work to investigate effect of forging condition on mechanical properties of Al/SiC composites prepared in open die at the temperature of 450 °C with three different stages then specimens are aged at T6 conditions. Forged specimens subjected tensile, compression and hardness tests to evaluate effect of forging levels on Al/SiC composites. The effect of plastic deformation and high temperature during forging led to a recrystallization of the Al/SiC matrix with a grain refinement. At first and second stage higher grain refine could be seen but at third stage no further grain refinement could be absorbed. The modification of grain which was influenced an enhancement in the mechanical strength. The scanning electron microscope shows the brittle and ductile mixture failure was absorbed in all type of the specimens. Forging improve the mechanical properties with nominal loss of ductility.
