The effects of sliding speed and wear environment temperature (hereafter denoted as temperature) on the wear behaviour and friction coefficient of SiC particle reinforced A16061 composites (SiC p /Al) were studied using wear and friction test of a ring on disc type, and difference of wear mechanism in terms of temperature was also examined by a microscopic observation of worn surfaces. Thin surface layer (TSL) formed on the worn surface during the experiment was enhanced with increase of temperature. However, such a TSL was cracked due to point contact between the counter material and coarse SiC particles (and/or SiC clusters) existing on the worn surface of the SiC p /Al. Contour of worn surfaces became rougher with increase of temperature and sliding speed. Wear mechanism of the AA6061 changed from abrasive wear into adhesive wear at 300°C while for the SiC p /Al, wear mechanism did not changed in the test conditions. That is, abrasive wear was maintained up to 300°C. Due to the presence of SiC particles, Friction coefficient of the SiC p /Al was larger than that of the AA6061 regardless of the temperature. However, scatter of friction coefficient against temperature was smaller in the SiC p /Al than in the AA6061. Furthermore, the weight loss, the difference of specimen weight before and after the experiment, under the severest test condition was less in the SiC p /Al than in the AA6061.
