Aluminum composites are preferred in many kinds of applications such as aviation, space, automotive, and marine, owing to their outstanding properties, high strength, and corrosion resistance. The main objective of the current study is to evaluate the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy 6061/titanium dioxide (micro-TiO2) microcomposite synthesized using the stir casting method. The effects of changes in stir casting parameters, such as stirring speed and tiring durations, were studied. Al6061 matrix was reinforced with micro-TiO2 particles with weight fractions of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 wt.%. Microstructural and chemical analyses were conducted to explore microstructural transformation resulting from the presence of the TiO2 microparticles. The mechanical characteristics were evaluated, and the results showed a considerable enhancement in the mechanical strength and hardness resulting from the incorporation of micro-TiO2 into Al606. The additions of 2 wt.% and 5 wt.% of micro-TiO2 recorded the highest ultimate tensile strength and hardness, respectively.
