**6. Mechanical testing**

The utility of metals/composites in different fields of engineering depends on its capacity to accomplish design and service requirements of the current scenario. The competence of composites to satisfy these requirements is determined by the mechanical, thermal and physical properties of the metal [22]. Mechanical testing like tensile test, compression test and hardness test were done on the hybrid composites with varying composition and varying weight % of reinforcements as shown in **Table 3**.
