This work concentrates on the impact and contribution of zirconium carbide (ZrC) and magnesium to the mechanical and tribological properties of aluminium matrix composites. Distinctive weight portions of zirconium carbide, containing fixed weight fractions of magnesium and strengthening aluminium composites, were prepared utilising the entrenched cold-press sintering technique used in powder metallurgy. The uniform powder mixture was obtained by using planetary ball milling and it was then observed by using the scanning electron microscope technique. The hardness of the hybrid composite increased along with increase in the amount of the ZrC particle. The wear losses of sintered Al-Mg-ZrC composites were explored by directing sliding tests in pin-on-disc equipment. Hybridisation of reinforcements also decreased the wear loss of the composites at high sliding load and speed. This study reveals that the hybrid aluminium composite can be considered a unique material with high strength, low weight and wear resistance that will find their application in components to be used in the automobile and aero space engineering sectors.
