In this investigation, wear behavior of hybrid aluminum metal matrix composites (HMMCs) fabricated by stir casting technique is carried out. Boron carbide and Mica particles are added. The Mica percentage varies from 3–5% in steps of 1% with a constant reinforcement quantity of 10% boron carbide. The dry sliding wear experiments are explored on a pin on disc tribometer. The process variables considered for the study are: Mica mass fraction, sliding speed, load and sliding time, and the response analyzed is wear loss. Box-Behnken design is used for conducting the experiments. The result shown proves that 3% of Mica particle inclusion reduces the wear due to the increase in density. Further increase of mica does not improve the wear resistance. ANOVA results indicate that load and % of Mica are the profoundly influencing parameters. The pin surface is analyzed by using a Scanning Electron Microscope.

Now a day’s Hybrid Metal Matrix composites has a large number of applications in automobiles, aircrafts and structural applications like brake rotors, engine parts and cylinder liners. The aim of this study is to determine the mechanical properties of boron carbide (B4C) and zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4) particulate reinforced with AA6063 alloy composites. In this experimental study, B4C and ZrSiO4 particulates reinforced with AA6063 composites were manufactured by stir casting technique. Mechanical properties of these composite materials were investigated by different weight percentages, 3%, 6%, 9% of boron carbide (B4C) and 9%, 6%, 3% of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4) respectively. The mechanical properties evaluation reveals variations in hardness and the tensile strength values with the composite combinations investigated in this work. From the experimental studies, the optimum volume fraction of hybrid reinforcement in AA6063 alloy on the basis of mechanical properties and SEM analysis is also determined.
