The effect of load on the dry sliding wear behaviour of an Al-10si alloy reinforced with TiB2 particles reported in this paper. The coefficient of friction and wear rate of an Al-10Si alloy and composites were measured using a pin-on-disc apparatus. The wear rate of Al-10Si alloy increased drastically and that of composites decreased with the increase in weight percent of TiB2 particles. The load bearing capacity of the alloy during wear increases and the same for composites is decreasing with increasing sliding distance. It was observed that increasing in the applied load as well as TiB2 content there was a decrease in the coefficient of friction for both the alloy and composites. It was also observed that this decrease in coefficient of friction was more for higher 10% TiB2 content.
