  Abstract: Hybrid Aluminium/Boron carbide/Zirconium oxide (AlSi7Mg0.3/B4C/ZrO2) composites were fabricated utilizing stir casting technique by varying boron carbide content (4wt.%, 8wt.% and 12wt.%) and utilizing a fixed amount (4wt.%) of zirconium oxide particles. Optical microscopy revealed that B4C and ZrO2 particulates were dispersed uniformly in AlSi7Mg0.3 matrix. Dry sliding wear experiments were carried out utilizing the pin-on-disc tribometer with various levels of applied loads, sliding speeds and weight percentage of boron carbide …
