Abstract

Abstract: Global issues related to the scarcity of natural (or monolithic) materials need extensive research in the field of materials science. Aluminum (Al) and magnesium (Mg) based hybrid metal matrix composites (HMMCs) having properties like a light in weight, better stiffness, hardness, strength to weight ratio, and wear resistance are the best alternatives and has fulfilled the existing problems in all aspects of engineering and medical applications so far. 'Tribology' is an important mode which deals with the inter-linked study of friction, wear and lubrication of interacting surfaces in relative motion to examine the tribological properties of fabricated composites. This article provides all the significant attributes of tribological behavior of HMMCs, based on the critical review of the existing literature, stir casting found to be the best fabrication technique, and pin on disc tribometer for the wear analysis is highly recommended for Al and Mg-based HMMCs.
