Abstract: Tensile behaviors of Al-12wt%-2wt%Mg based biocomposites containing different concentrations of periwinkle shell and Mangifera indica particulates (PSp and MIp) have been explored experimentally. The effects of hybrid concentrations on the tensile behaviors were also investigated. The structural analysis of the developed biocomposites was done using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The biocomposites demonstrated excellent tensile behaviors at different concentrations of the reinforcements with maximum ultimate tensile strength of 233 MPa obtained by Al-12wt%-2wt%Mg-6PSp-2wt%MIp biocomposite. The biocomposite recorded higher strength than the alloy matrix. The improvements of mechanical properties are guaranteed by the distribution of PSp and MIp particles in the alloy matrix as evidenced in the microstructural analysis.
