Abstract The application of natural fiber‐reinforced composite (NFRC) is growing rapidly in various industrial sectors, such as automotive, packaging, and construction materials, because its affordability excellent mechanical properties. This study investigates the effects tungsten carbide (WC) zinc oxide (ZnO) filler content on wear performance jute/flax‐reinforced hybrid composites. WC enhanced tensile stress composites more effectively than ZnO filler. Adding 1% 1.5% strength unfilled by 41% 24%, respectively. Wear tests conducted under parameters revealed that increasing load reduced coefficient friction (COF) but increased rate mass loss for both neat filled lowest COF values were observed WC‐filled It was exhibited less matrix deformation, pitting, porosity compared to Impact resistance improved with addition fillers, impact from 4.5 10.3 J/m 2 . experimental closely matched predicted acquired model, demonstrating success artificial neural network (ANN) model precisely estimating values. Highlights fillers properties Exceeding optimum ratio negatively affects has jute/flax Artificial strongly correlates results. Infrared spectroscopy analysis validated interaction between epoxy.
