Composite materials, (composites) are engineered or naturally occurring materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different properties, which remain, separate and distinct at the macroscopic or microscopic scale even after they are made into a single material. The constituent materials used in it will compensate each other's limitations, so that the resulting material would constitute the advantages of all the included materials. Therefore combining specific materials we would achieve material, which could serve the specific application extensively and so now a days composite materials plays a wide and extensive role in manufacturing engineering components. There are several types of composite materials and methods for manufacturing them. In this paper manufacturing of metal matrix composites by stir casting is taken into focus, manufacturing of Aluminium Alloy (LM6)-SiC particle reinforced MMC by stir casting is the objective. They are widely used in automotive, aeronautical application and so it is given the prime importance. The methodology opted for manufacturing is stir casting because it is the cheapest and easiest and the applications like automotive and aeronautics involves manufacturing and utilization of large number of components, so the price should be low and the process should be easy and simple. Lot of researches is going on this area by varying different parameters. This paper focuses on designing, fabricating and testing different stirrers and feeders and utilizing them in stir casting for the manufacturing of Aluminium silicon carbide composite materials. Then the significance of individual stirrers and feeders are compared and the best one is identified. The significance of each stirrer and feeder is found by testing the specimen.
