It was investigated that reinforced species, billet condition and extrusion variation in Al 6061 composite material effected on extrusion process of particulate reinforced composite material. The strength of composite material with reinforcement species revealed SiC$\sub$w/> A1$_2$O$\sub$3f/ > A1$_2$O$\sub$3f/ > A1$_2$O$\sub$3f/ orderly. K$\sub$w/ increased as volute fraction increased in all composite material. The composite materials reinforced by A1$_2$ $O_3$required the larger pressure in hot extrusion process than those by SiC$\sub$p/ at all condition. Extrusion process tended to decrease as the semi-angle of extrusion dies increased because larger contact area caused larger shear friction. Extrusion temperature went up about 50$^{\circ}C$ in low elevated deformation temperature. In extrusion temperature above 500$^{\circ}C$, severe tearing occurred on extrusion surface. More reinforcement in volume fraction, more hot tearing.
