In This work concentrates on the preparation of AA5083-(0, 2, and 2 Wt. %) Cadmium-(0, 3, and 5 Wt. %) zirconia aluminium metal matrix composites (AMCs) using stir casting and investigation of dry sliding wear behavior by means of pin-on-disc apparatus at room temperature. The successful incorporation of cadmium and zirconia particles into the aluminium alloy matrix. A proper distribution of cadmium and zirconia particles without segregation was achieved by using stir casting. Cadmium and zirconia particles refined the grains of the aluminium matrix and improved the hardness of the composite and reducing the wear rate. The result show that the increase in the percentage of addition of cadmium and zirconia increases the hardness and reducing the wear rate is observed for AA5083-2% Cd-5% ZrO2 hybrid alloy.

Keywords- Stir casting, pin-on-disc, cadmium, zirconia, dry sliding wear, hardness, wear rate.
