The metal matrix composite strengthened with ceramic material of silicon carbide has smart mechanical characteristics.Metal-based composites, however, demand progress in their friction and tribological characteristics. In this work-study an effortis made to design a completely new material through the method of metallurgy by adding Coconut husk. This study explored theeffect of coconut husk on the tribological behavior of hybrid composite Al 7075/5 wt. % Sic/Xwt. %coconut husk(X=6,4 and0).Theresearch confirms the performance of wear properties by incorporating coconut husk into the composite. The sic-coconut huskreinforced Al 7075 (aluminum alloy 7075) was studied. Metallurgy route was used to prepare the composites. Microstructures, themixture of materials, wear and wear resistance properties were analyzed by optical micro cope and scanning electron microscope.
