Among the several types of aluminum alloys being used, Al5000 series are widely used in marine and aerospace applications due to their superior corrosion resistance, excellent formability and good welding characteristics. Al5083, a non-heat treatable high Mg-Al wrought alloy, is extensively used for the marine applications. Hence, an at- tempt has been made in the proposed work to study the effects of Graphite (Gr) and Aluminium oxide (Al O ) on alu- 2 3 minum hybrid composites involving both hard and soft reinforcements on wear and corrosi
