Description	Journal: Iop Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering The present study deals with investigations relating to dry sliding wear behaviour of the Al 7075 alloy, reinforced with $Al_{2}O_{3}$ and $B_{4}$C. The hybrid composites are produced through Liquid Metallurgy route - Stir casting method. The amount of $Al_{2}O_{3}$ particles is varied as 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 wt% and the amount of $B_{4}$C is kept constant as 3wt%. Experiments were conducted based on the plan of experiments generated through Taguchi's technique. A L27 Orthogonal array was selected for analysis of the data. The investigation is to find the effect of applied load, sliding speed and sliding distance on wear rate and Coefficient of Friction (COF) of the hybrid Al7075- $Al_{2}O_{3}-B_{4}$C composite and to determine the optimal parameters for obtaining minimum wear rate. The samples were examined using scanning electronic microscopy after wear testing and analyzed.
