AB  - Aluminium Metal matrix Composites (AMC)
is being extensively used in various field of life,
especially in aerospace and automotive industries,
because of its good thermal stability and excellent specific
strength. AMCs are well known for high strength to
weight ratio and high temperature applications. In the
present study, wear behaviour of SiC particles reinforced
with Aluminium Matrix composites have been
investigated. Al 6061 discs were made with 10, 15 and
20% SiC particles by stir casting and machined to fit as a
disc in pin on disc tribometer. Using Taguchi Design of
Experiments, the experiments were carried out with 4
factorials and 3 levels based on L9 orthogonal array and
the results are discussed.
