Effects of SiC particle on wear resistance of AC4C Al/SiC composite were studied. Experimental variables included were types of metallic coatings such as Cu and Ni-P, and volume fraction of SiC particle in composite. The results of wear test showed that the wear resistance of AC4C Al/SiC composite is increased linearly with volume fraction of SiC particles. In the range of our experimental conditions, there is no significant difference in wear resistance between the type of pretreatment for coating on SiC particles used for composite specimens the as-received SiC reinforced and coated SiC reinforced composite. Wear debries generated during wear test are identified as Al from matrix alloy of specimen, and iron oxide from steel block which is counter part of abrasion test. Severe subsurface plastic deformation is observed at the regions close to the wear surface, and the surface region were work hardened.
