Aluminum MMC’s are getting to be plainly potential material offering the phenomenal mix of properties, for example, high specific stiffness, thermal conductivities, low coefficient of heat development and wear protection. As a result of their superb blend of properties, AMMC's are being utilized as a part of assortments of utilizations in automobile vehicle, aviation and other related segments. In the present examination, Al LM13-MgO composites were created by Vortex technique by differing weight level of support from 0 wt.% to 10 wt.% in ventures of 2. The pin on disk wear tests was directed to analyze the wear conduct of the aluminum LM13 and its composites. T6 heat treatment studied. The outcome uncovers that wear rates of the composite. The wear rate is more in As-Cast LM13/MgO compared to heat treated condition. The consolidation of MgO as support particles in aluminum LM13 composite enhances the Tribological physical characteristics.
