Al6061 has been used as matrix material due to its good formability, excellent mechanical properties and etc., wide spectrum of the applications in industrial sectors. Inclusion of Frit particulates as reinforcement in Al6061 alloy material system improves its hardness and decrease in density. In the present investigation Al6061 -Frit particulate composites were produced by ‘VORTEX’ method with varying weight percentages of Frit particulate from 0 wt% to 10 wt% in steps of 2.The as cast matrix alloy and its composites 0 have been subjected to solutionizing treatment at a temperature of 530 C for 2 hours followed by quenching in different media such as air, water and ice. The quenched spec
