This paper focuses with the analysis of friction and abrasion characteristics of Nano TiO 2 composite using pin on disc method. Nano TiO 2 with 10 ingredients was fabricated by employing compression moulding technique and also the composite tribology strength was weighd. The six composite specimens were prepared by varying Nano TiO 2 (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10%) with other ingredients and the results are plotted. It indicates that the abrasion rate was decreased by adding Nano TiO 2 upto 8%. Hardness and porosity are also found to increase but heat swell and specific gravity decreases. 6 wt% Nano TiO 2 has the property to improve the friction stability during high speed and load. Abrasion tested composites was examined by scanning electron microscope indicating that abrasive, cavity and oxidation were the predominant abrasion mechanism.
