The aim of this investigation was to develop and characterize aluminum alloy LM13 reinforced with garnet and carbon for hybrid composites by chill casting technique. Conventional stir casting technique was used to fabricate the composites. Various chill materials like Copper, Steel, Iron and Silicon carbide was used to improve the directional solidification. The garnet being added ranges from 3 to 12 wt-percent in steps of 3wt-percent and constant 3wt-percent of carbon. The experiment evaluates the microstructure and wear properties of the metal matrix composites by dry sliding wear test using a pin-on-disc wear tester by varying the applied load from 10-50N. The result reveals that, the reinforcement particles are randomly and fine dispersed in matrix alloy as seen in microstructure. SEM was used for examine worn surfaces. The addition of garnet and carbon reinforcement decreases the wear rate of hybrid composites. Further, directional chilling improves the wear resistance of the composites.
