Metal matrix composite (MMC) focuses primarily on improved specific strength, high temperature and wear resistance application. Aluminium matrix reinforced with titanium carbide (Al-TiCp) has good potential. The main challenge is to produce this composite in a cost effective way to meet the above requirements. In this study Al-TiCp castings with different volume fraction of TiC were produced in an argon atmosphere by an enhanced stir casting method. Specific strength of the composite has increased with higher % of TiC addition. Dry sliding wear behaviour of AMC was analysed with the help of a pin on disc wear and friction monitor. The present analyses reveal the improved specific strength as well as wear resistance. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
