In this present investigation, aluminium (Al 2024) as base matrix metal and tungsten carbide (WC) as particulate reinforcement is fabricated by insitu casting method. Tungsten Carbide (WC) being one of the hardest ceramic particle can enhance the mechanical properties of aluminium by uniform blending. Experimental researches have largely stressed on studying contribution of these particulates in improving the properties of the MMC. The even distribution of Tungsten Carbide in the Al matrix has identified as being crucial for improved properties. In order to achieve uniformity fabrication of MMCs was done by stircasting process. This paper concentrates on the stir casting process, process and material parameters, & preparation of aluminium Matrix Composite material by using aluminium as matrix form and Tungsten Carbide as reinforcement. Mechanical properties like wearness and micro hardness were studied for aluminium 2024 alloy and stir casted MMC (Al-WC). From the results, it was found that the microhardness and the wear properties of the prepared metal matrix composite improved.
