Reducing weight is a crucial factor in automobile industries for structural applications. Waste management includes the collection of storage and recycling of waste. Indians are producing around 230 million tons of waste a year because of the world’s largest population. An attempt was made in varying weight fractions to develop magnesium hybrid composites using the powder metallurgy (P/M) technique. The mechanical properties like micro-hardness, tensile, impact strength are analyzed. The size distribution and physical properties like FTIR, density are tested for magnesium hybrid composites. Microstructure analysis is taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) are analyzed. The waste materials are not only found abundantly but also a threat to the environment. It is a good additive for composite materials, which turns industrial-waste into industrial-wealth. The present study’s hypothesis is the utilization of waste materials into raw materials that solves storage and reduces material cost will favor industrial sectors. The current work examines the tribology using pin-on-disc apparatus by varying applied loads, sliding speeds with sliding distances. Wear debris, and worn surfaces have been analyzed to predict material behavior. The results reveal that superior wear resistance is achieved in AZ91D/7.5% (SiO2–HA) hybrid composite compare with other composites.
