In today’s manufacturing industries, Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) are in high demand owing to their valuable properties like high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance against wear. This research evaluates the wear properties of AA2219 matrix composites reinforced using varying amounts (2%, 4% and 6% by weight) of Si3N4 particles, fabricated by squeeze casting. Wear performance testing of the developed Aluminium Matrix Composite (AMC) is executed by utilising pin-on-disc equipment subjected to varying conditions of load and speed. The wear rate is reported to rise with increasing normal load and sliding velocity. The study also reveals that the wear rate reduces with increasing reinforcement content.
