Abstract The metal matrix composites are the most adoptable and innovative materials in the field of Automobile, Aerospace, Defense, infrastructure etc., because of its advantages like high strength to weight ratio, high stiffness, corrosion resistance and low maintenance compared to its parent metals. Apart from these properties the material also possess high wear resistance. LM26 is a novel Aluminium alloy which have superior Casting and Mechanical properties. Hence in the present investigation LM26 Aluminium alloy reinforced with Silicon carbide particle is subjected to dry sliding wear test to study its wear behavior. For this purpose ASTM standard G99 Pin on disc test machine set up is employed. The test has several variables like Speed(RPM), Load(N), Time(Min) Wear(Micron) and Wear rate(mm3/N-m). Among these parameters Speed of the experiment is kept constant at 300(RPM) and other parameters are varied to study the material behavior. The Design of Experiment method is used with Minitab to identify the factor influencing most to the wear. The results are tabulated and graphs are plotted. These results are supported by SEM images were also discussed.
