Abstract—The purpose of present work is to investigate the dry sliding wear behaviour of aluminium alloy reinforcing with varying in percentage of SiC. Dry sliding wear tests were conducted on samples using pin-on-disc machine for varying Normal pressure, speed and wt % of SIC. The design of experiment approach was employed to acquire data in controlled way using Taguchi method and analysis of variance were employed to optimize the wear rate and frictional force of Al-SiC composite. The mathematical model was obtained to determine the wear rate and frictional force of Al-SiC composite. The confirmation tests were conducted to verify the experimental results. Index Terms—ANOVA, MMC, Orthogonal array, Wear, etc.
