Abstract: The most promising materials in today’s engineering environment are light weight hybrid composites. They have a high strength-to-weight ratio and are used in variety of industries, including aviation and automobiles. When the chose reinforcements are cost-effective, the production of these prospective hybrid composites is less expensive. Aluminum alloy, rice husk, and silicon carbide were used as composite materials. Fabrication of composite materials has been completed. The hardness of several combinations of Aluminum, Silicon, and Rice husk ash reinforcements was investigated in fabricated metal matrix composites. As the content of rice husk and SiC increases, the shear strength of Al Composites improves. These composites can be employed anywhere lightweight materials with good stiffness and strength are required, resulting in low-cost aluminum.
