en Research Paper Research Paper <div style="text-align: justify;">Hybrid composites consisting of AA6061 matrix reinforced with TiB₂ (2, 4, 6, and 8 wt. %), Al₂O₃(2 wt. %) particles were produced by the sintering process. In comparison to the base material AA6061, the composite produced had improved mechanical properties. The sintered composites&#39; mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and hardness, are measured and compared to the wear-tested specimen. Optical micrographs reveal that composites were riddled with defects like blowholes, pinholes, and improper bonding between the particulates before sintering. However, the post-sintered optical micrograph showed that the defects were greatly suppressed. Micrographic images revealed the changes in surface characteristics before and after wear. Until a sliding distance of 260 m, the wear rate of the hybrid composites was kept lower than that of the base material. The coefficient of all the composite materials produced for this study was noted to be less than that of the base material. The results reveal that the hardness of hybrid composites having 4 wt. % and 6 wt. % of TiB₂ particulates increased by 5.98 % and 1.35 %. Because of the frictional heating during the wear test, the tensile properties lowered by up to 49.6%. It is concluded that the hybrid composites having 4 wt. % and 6 wt. % of TiB₂ particulates exhibited less wear rate for extended sliding distance, good hardness, moderate tensile strength, and decent elongation percentage compared to its counterparts.</div> Hybrid composites,sintering,tensile strength,micro hardness,wear,coefficient of friction. 1 13 http://ijmse.iust.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-3670-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Dillibabu Surrya Prakash dsurryaprakash@gmail.com 1800319475328460014760 1800319475328460014760 Yes VEL TECH RANGARAJAN Dr.SAGUNTHALA R&D INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Narayana Dilip Raja ndilipraja@veltech.edu.in 1800319475328460014761 1800319475328460014761 No Vel Tech Rangarajan Dr. Sagunthala R&D Institute of Science and Technology
