[ABSTRACT ]

Hybrid composites of Aluminum are emerging composites and have shown to yield great strength to weight ratio which is majorly one of the key features for being implied in the field of aerospace, parts of vehicles and other engineering applications. Test results showed a respectively lower tensile strength as compared to the parent metal (Al-6082), but higher hardness. The Optical Microstructure showed uniform distribution of the reinforcements with proper wetting and fine grains having size 9 μm – 18 μm.

Keywords: Hybrid composites, Stir Casting Process, Strength to weight ratio, Al 6082.
