I. INTRODUCTION
By the change in science and technology, there
are competitive both in liberalization and global
market [1]. Materials with high strength and low
density have been used in industries. Aluminium alloy
used as a matrix other material used as a fibre which
has been reinforced widely use in technical
applications because of their roughness and usability
when compared with conventional aluminium alloys
[2]. Many tests have been carried out on composite
materials based on aluminium 6061.
