In this present experimental investigation, Al7010/B 4 C/BN hybrid metal matrix nanocomposites with equal weight percent of B 4 C and BN in steps of 0.5 from 0 to 2.5 are prepared using ultrasonic-assisted stir casting technique. Tribological characteristics of the prepared composites at room temperature are evaluated using pin-on-disc apparatus. Taguchi technique is used to study the influence of process variables on tribological behaviour of nanocomposites. The experiments were conducted based on the orthogonal array L 18  through Taguchi technique and evaluated for the optimum process variables using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The experimental outcomes reported that the wear rate is mostly affected by composition (78.79) followed by applied load (19.68), sliding speed (0.55) and least is sliding distance (0.02). Coefficient of friction is influenced by composition (60.14) followed by sliding speed (29.34), sliding distance (6.47) and applied load (3.38). The confidence interval was predicted for a confidence level of 95%. Finally, the confirmation test is conducted to check the predictive values with the experimental results. The worn surface of the composite resulted from conformation test is studied using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
