Aluminum based metal matrix composites are given more attention in fabrication of surface engineering applications due to their excellent mechanical and wear properties. In this study, Friction stir processing (FSP) method was used to fabricate the surface composite with inserting different volume % of ZrO2 reinforcement particles in the Aluminum 6082 alloy. The hardness and triblogical characteristics of fabricated surface composites and base alloy were investigated. The higher volume content of reinforcement surface revealed higher hardness and higher wear resistance compared to the lower volume content reinforcement surface and base material. The wear wornout of composite surfaces and base alloy were examined through SEM for understanding the wear mechanisms. Article History Received: 26 February 18 Accepted: 21 March 18
