The use of alternative materials in becoming increasingly important in various engineering fields. In this way, present study indicates the possibilities of reinforcing aluminium alloy (Al6061) with locally available inexpensive rice husk ash for developing a new material. 4, 8 & 12% of a rice husk ash particle were used by weight to develop metal matrix composite. This can be done by liquid metallurgy route. Where they are sustainable, high performance, or simply lower cost alternatives often have some different characteristics that can be appealing in some way. Metal matrix composites (MMCs) constitute in important category of design and weight efficient materials, this research project is ultimately sought to determine an alternative material for disk brake rotor. In this article we fabricate aluminium (Al6061) matrix composite reinforced with rice husk ash (RHA) with a large amount of silica contain. This can be done by stir casting. The report gives the results that it decreases the density and increases yield strength, ultimate strength and hardness of the composite.
