Abstract: In the present investigation an attempt has been made on the study of friction performance of LM6 reinforcing with varying SiC content composite for varying process parameters. The composite is prepared by stir casting process in an electric melting furnace. The tribological tests are carried out on LM6 with varying SiC for testing the friction property of the material. The experimental study is performed varying Normal pressure, speed and wt % of SIC. The design of experiment approach was employed to acquire data in controlled way using Taguchi method. An orthogonal array, signal-to-noise ratio and analysis of variance were employed to optimize the wear rate and frictional force of LM6-SiC composite. The mathematical model was obtained to determine the friction performance of Al-SiC composite. It is observed that sliding speed influence the friction behaviour, significantly.
