  Abstract: This study investigates the effect of individual and hybrid reinforcements on the mechanical and microstructural behaviour of Al7075 composite fabricated using the 2-step stir-casting technique. Four compositions were made with the base Al-7075, Al-7075 3 weight % ZrO2, and Al-7075 3 weight % Gr as well as a hybrid composite Al7075 with 3 wt.% Gr, 3 wt.% ZrO2. 2-step stir-casting was used to increase the wettability of the particles, decrease …
