The creation of innovative materials with essential properties is required due to the industry’s rapid advancements. The most desirable properties of metals used in the aerospace industry, automotive industry, and marine industry are hardness, compression, shear, etc. Aluminium metal matrix composites (AMMCs) are effective and meet industrial standards. This study focuses on the influence of reinforcement particles (Selenium) on Al-6061 by using the stir-casting fabrication method and the composites are prepared. Mechanical characteristics are studied by varying Selenium weight percentages such as 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%. Based on the Mechanical tests it is noticed that there is an improvement in Mechanical strength such as tensile strength, flexural strength, and compression strength by 32%, 29.5%, and 25% at 1 Wt% of Selenium. By implying the Powder XRD test on the prepared sample which is a significant parameter drawn from mechanical tests, based on the Standard XRD data it is noticed that a Hexagonal Crystal Structure is formed.
