**6.1 Tensile test**

The tension test is one of the most common tests performed on the casted samples for evaluating materials. The tension test was done by gripping opposite ends of a tensile test sample within the load frame of a tension machine. A tensile force was applied by the machine, resulting in the gradual elongation and then results in fracture of the test sample. The mechanical properties found from tension test are yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, ductility properties, such as elongation and reduction in area. **Figure 2** shows the dimension of test specimen as per ASTM and **Figure 3** shows the tensile test sample of hybrid Composite specimen.
