Abstract: With the increase in demand for less denser and high stiffer components, aluminium matrix composite find its place in the area of aerospace structure and in automobiles. The purpose of this work is to study the corrosion and wear properties by development of hybrid metal matrix composite constitutes boron carbide and graphite particulate reinforced to aluminium (AL2024) alloy matrix which is in continuous phase. Using stir casting fabrication technique, keeping boron carbide constant and varying the weight % of graphite and vice versa according to ASTM standards. The wear characteristics and corrosion test for different compositions have been tested using pin on disc apparatus and weight loss metho
