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.

In this work, a combined forming and fracture limit diagram, fractured void coalescence and texture analysis have been experimentally evaluated for the commercially available aluminum alloy Al 8011 sheet annealed at different temperatures viz. 200 °C, 250 °C, 300 °C and 350 °C. The sheets were examined at different annealing temperatures on microstructure, tensile properties, formability and void coalescence. The fractured surfaces of the formed samples were examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and these images were correlated with fracture behavior and formability of sheet metals. Formability of Al 8011 was studied and examined at various annealing temperatures using their bulk X-ray crystallographic textures and ODF plots. Forming limit diagrams, void coalescence parameters and crystallographic textures were correlated with normal anisotropy of the sheet metals annealed at different temperatures.
