Aluminum with a composition of 7-10% Silicone (Si), 2-4% Copper (Cu) was a matrix used with the addition variations of nano-SiC reinforcement particle 0.25; 0.3; 0.4% Vf with the intention of fabricate bullet-proof materials that have high toughness, impact resistance and good strength. In this research, composite was fabricated by stir casting method possessed superior properties due to an effective bonding between matrix and reinforcement particles. In addition to of nano-SiC as a reinforcement particle also followed by the addition of 5 %wt Magnesium (Mg) as the wetting agent, 0.04 %wt Stronsium (Sr) as the modifier, and 0.15 %wt Al-5Ti-1B as the grain reinforcement. The fabricated composite specimens were subjected to various tests to determine the mechanical properties such as density, porosity, hardness, tensile strength, impact, and ballistic testing. The results were compared with basic matrix alloy. Furthermore, the uses of Optical Microscope (OM), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX), dan X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analyses were carried out to analyze the dispersion of the reinforced particles in the selected matrix alloy.
