In the automotive industry, the high surface finish and superior mechanical property materials are prepared with the help of the squeeze casting process. The paper investigates on the chosen materials of MMC cast using magnesium alloy (Mg-AZ91D) reinforced with various %wt of silicon carbide (SiC) also aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) of nano particulates (20 nm). The preferred squeeze casting technique produces magnesium matrix composites along with silicon carbide (SiC) and aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) particulates direct to an absolute drenched of inside the liquefy magnesium of hybrid metal matrix composite. Using CNC lathe and orthogonal array (L9), Magnesium metal matrix composites (Mg-AZ91D) are machined. To determine Metal Removal Rate (MRR) and Surface roughness (Ra) with various input parameters having the CNC lathe. Magnesium metal matrix composites (Mg-MMC) also, comparing the results with the unreinforced magnesium alloy with reinforcement of silicon carbide (SiC) and aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) of nano particulates, Mechanical properties of the Magnesium metal matrix composite (Mg-MMC) and optimal machining parameters are evaluated.
