Abstract : In the present investigation, SiO2/TiO2/Al5754 alloy hybrid composites were synthesised using vacuum die-casting, and their morphology, mechanical, wear, and corrosion properties were analyzed. The strengthening particles are evenly diffused with Al5754 alloy at 800 °C, 650 rpm, and 20 min without residual pores. Due to a reduction in grain size, enhanced wettability, and intrinsic oxidation characteristics, the synthesised immixture exhibits an increase in hardness (32.04 %), tensile (34.6 %), and compressive strength (36.51 %) in context with as cast alloy. The interphase of hybrid blends Al2Si2O7, Mg2Si, and Al2O3 limits oxygen permeability and increases corrosion resistance (40.03 %). By increasing the applied load, the wear loss percentage decreased due to higher stresses and intense plastic deformation at the contact interface.
