  Abstract: Hybrid AA7075 composites reinforced with 15% silicon carbide (SiC) and 15% glass fiber were fabricated via the stir casting technique to improve machining and structural performance. The addition of dual reinforcements into the aluminum matrix was aimed at enhancing hardness, thermal stability, and surface quality during non-traditional drilling operations. Square-hole drilling was performed using a laser trepanning process, and the key responses—hole size accuracy, surface roughness, and taper angle—were systematically …
