  Abstract: The growing demand for lightweight, cost-effective, and high-performance materials in structural and automotive sectors has accelerated the development of hybrid metal matrix composites (HMMCs). This study investigates Al6061 alloy as the matrix material, reinforced with varying weight fractions of boron carbide (B₄C), a high-hardness ceramic, and fly ash, an economical industrial byproduct, to assess their synergistic effects on mechanical properties. Hybrid composites were synthesized using the stir casting technique to …
