The present study deals with investigations relating to dry sliding wear behaviour of the Al 6061 alloy, reinforced with MnO 2 particles in 3, 6, 9, and 12 wt.% in four steps in stir casting process. The tests were conducted at varying loads from 0 to 15 N, track radius of 30 mm and constant speed of 1000 rpm. Effect of normal load are discussed and the wear resistance of the composite increased on increasing the MnO 2 particles thus wear rate is significantly less for the composite compare to matrix material. Tribological results reveals that wear rate is directly related with the load. The results show that the tribological behaviour of metal matrix composites (MMCs). The results indicate that the wear resistance of the Al6061 reinforced material increased with increase in MnO 2 content, but decreases with increase in normal load.
