This study presents an effective approach to assess the machinability of 6351 aluminum alloy matrix, reinforced with 5 wt. % Silicon Carbide (SiC) and (0, 5 and 10 wt. %) Boron Carbide Downloaded by [University of Nebraska, Lincoln] at 05:28 01 October 2015 2 (B4C) particles. The turning tests are carried out with a Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) tool to identify the effect of the B4C particles addition to the composite, with an objective to improve the Material Removal Rate (MRR) and to reduce the Surface Roughness (Ra) and PowerConsumption (P). The significant level of each factor, which contributes to affect the output response, is found through Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results show that the inclusion of B4C particles in the hybrid composite significantly affects the machinability, with a contribution to the Surface Roughness by 7.87% and P by 6.36%. The increase in MRR affects the quality of the material, irrespective of the composites.
