The study examined the mechanical and tribological properties of AA5083 aluminum alloy composites reinforced with zirconia dioxide and cadmium. Four material combinations were analyzed, and the effects on tensile strength, hardness, impact resistance, wear resistance, and friction were evaluated. The addition of ZrO₂ and Cd significantly improved hardness and wear resistance, with the composite containing both reinforcements exhibiting the best mechanical strength and wear performance. Microstructural analysis confirmed a uniform distribution of the reinforcing particles, enhancing load-bearing capacity and wear resistance. ZrO₂ contributed to hardness and thermal stability, while cadmium improved lubrication and surface degradation resistance. These reinforced composites show promise for applications in aerospace, manufacturing, and automotive industries, and further research is suggested to assess their long-term performance under extreme conditions.
