In this experimental study, SiC and ZrSiO4 particulates reinforced with ADC-12 alloy composite were manufactured by stir casting methods. Compressive properties of these composite materials were investigated by different weight percentages of dual reinforcement combinations (9+3) %, (6+6) %, (3+9) %wt. silicon carbide (SiC) and zircon sand (ZrSiO4)</strong></em><br><em><strong>respectively, The compressive tests were conducted to determine compressive strength and young’s modulus to investigate the effects of reinforce materials on different combinations of weight percentages. The outcome of the investigations reveals that the tensile strength of composites reinforced by Zircon sand (ZrSiO4) and silicon carbide particles with a total reinforcement 12% wt, and in this hybrid reinforcement the variations (9+3) %, (6+6) %, (3+9) % were taken in to account for investigating the properties such as density, compressive</strong></em><br><em><strong>strength and hardness of the composites synthesized by Stir casting technique, also compared between each other’s.
