The effects of compaction pressure and particle size on the mechanical property of Ceramic/Glass-Al based samples are reported in this study. The samples were of cross sectional area 34.0 x 35.0 mm2with varying thickness 20.8-22.10 mm. Particle size of 26.5 nm was used for glass, ceramic and aluminum. The samples were made to solids by pressing the materials together at a pressure of 300 bars. Results showed that ceramic/glass addition and particle size greatly influenced the mechanical stability of the samples. With the particle size, it was revealed that samples were noted with stress stability between 0-20 and 40-60 % weights of glass in composites. The sample was noted to have maximum strength for 40 % weight of glass in composites in the compression test analyses.
