The improvement of the mechanical and physical properties of hybrid composite materials plays a huge role in many different engineering applications. In this article, the hybrid composites were prepared using the hand lay up method from polyester resin with 4% wt. jute fibers and reinforcement with different weight fractions of (3%, 6%, 9%, and 11%wt. egg shells powder / rice husk powder) to investigate the resistance of these hybrid polymeric composites to the test erosive wear. The median particle size of the eggshell and rice husk powder used in this research was (15.2 µm, 53.7 µm) respectively. The parameters that were studied during the erosion test (weight fractions of the fillers, impingement angle (30°, 60°, 90°), size silica sand (450, 600, 750µm) at the time constant (15 hours). Erosive wear behavior results for all samples hybrid composites were analyzed and discussed by using the experimental design of Taguchi (L9) (MINITAB 16). We note from the results that the samples (polyester + 4 wt%. Jute fibers + 11% wt. Eggshell powder) and (polyester + 4 wt%. Jute fibers + 11 wt%. rice husk powder) give the best erosive rate (0.00010g, 0.00027 g)respectively at variables (angle 60°, size silica sand 450 µm). Through the results of the ANOVA analysis, it was found that all variables (filler content, angle impingement, and silica sand size) had a significant effect on the erosive test.
