As aluminum alloy is the lightest metal and has the best mechanical qualities among metal, it has proven to be a perfect choice for strututal industry, particularly in the aerospace sector.7xxx alloys from the Al alloy family are widely used in aviation constructions due to their outstanding processing, welding efficiency, great specific strength & stiffness, and high toughness. The two aluminum alloys that are most frequently used in airplane structures are Al7075 and Al7178 because they both have favourable mechanical properties like low density, high strength, ductility, toughness, and fatigue resistance. In the present work, a hybrid blend of Al 7(075+178) metal matrix,with an optimum composition,  is prepared using Die casting technique. The prepared hybrid blend has been used as a tool in EDM to process Super Ni 718, a Nickel based super alloy,that has been employed as work material. In contemporary industrial environment,mostly Copper and brass electrodes are used as tool in the EDM for machining  hard materials. However to reduce the tooling cost, Al 7(075+178) metal matrix hybrid has been incorporated as alternative tool in this work. DoE Taguchi OAs are used for optimum experimental trails to develop regression model for material removal rate (MRR).By combining the unique properties of Super Ni 718 and the hybrid aluminium electrode, this research work seeks to optimize material removal processes while minimizing the ecological impact and thus, contributing towards a greener and more sustainable future in the sector of metal machining. The purpose of development of blend of hybrid Metal Matrix AA with the help of different reinforcements will certainly lead to huge amount of applications in different sectors like Aviation, Automobile, Defence, Military and other Engineering sectors.

Keywords: AL(7075+7178), Taguchi-DoE, Hybrid Aluminium Alloy, Die Casting, Abrasive assisted EDM, Inconel 718.
