Composite of AA2014 reinforced with 15 wt. % of Al2O3 reinforcement was manufactured by liquid casting mode. Wear was estimated on specimens prepared according to ASTM G99- 95a standard at room temperature. Pin-on-disc apparatus was used to evaluate the wear of specimens. Wear rate enlarged with a raise in the load and sliding distance; whereas reduced with raise in sliding speed. The material removal mechanism was found due to abrasive wear.
