Abstract
Hybrid metal matrix composites (Hmmc) are found to be more superior than the conventional composite materials because of their improved mechanical properties, which can be suited for an extensive range of engineering applications. Automobile and aerospace industries widely make use of hybrid composites as they possess excellent corrosion, wear resistance, low density, and high strength. This paper displays the strategy to build the hybrid composite utilizing Stir casting Method. Present investigation includes the creation of composites utilizing boron carbide (2%, 4%, 6% volume) and Red mud (2% volume) as the reinforcements and Structural aluminium as the matrix. Experimental investigation of wear analysis of the composites was carried out according to the L9 Taguchi method. The designated number of experiments was accomplished to probe the impact of control factors on the specific wear rate (SWR) of the developed composites. ANOVA was carried out and Wt%. Reinforcement was found to be the decisive factor on the SWR of the developed hybrid composite. The Confirmatory test was successfully carried out and the computed error was found to be varying from 0.878% to 2.58%.

Summary
A considerable rate of demand has been observed for hybrid composites across the globe. Hybrid metal matrix composites [Hmmc] synthesized using multiple reinforcements have excellent properties which suits appli-. Selecting the specific matrix and reinforcements, it is practically possible to develop the tailored made composite. More consideration has been given to aluminium and its alloys because of their widespread application in automobile industry [4]. Reinforcements such as Fly ash, Graphite, Boron carbide, Red mud, Silicon carbide, titanium oxide etc., can be used successfully to develop the hybrid composites [5] [6] [7] [8]. Limited work has been carried out on optimizing the wear parameters of Aluminium reinforced with boron carbide and red mud
