The microstructural and mechanical behavior of hybrid metal matrix composite based on aluminum alloy 6082-T6 reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) and boron carbide (B 4 C) particles was investigated. For this purpose, the hybrid composites were fabricated using conventional stir casting process by...
