“…Palanikumar et al (2019) combined B 4 C (primary reinforcement) and Mica (secondary reinforcement) particles and reported an increase in wear strength of the hybrid when compared with the composite produced by only the primary reinforcement. The use of titanium diboride for grain refinement (Xi et al, 2020) as well as carbides, nitrides, compounds of oxides, organic, inorganic, and industrial waste sourced form of reinforcement particles at micrometres and nanometres sizes for remarkable improvement in properties of AMCs have also been documented (Chen et al, 2020;Ma et al, 2016;Tiku et al, 2020). Several other studies have also reported the use of hybrid and other forms of reinforcement particles in the synthesis of AMCs (Arora & Sharma, 2018;Gowrishankar et al, 2019;Krushna et al,…”
