The present paper is relevant with the production and investigation of abrasion resistance of MMCs (Metal Matrix Composites) with metal matrix AISI 304 stainless steel and Al 2 O 3 reinforcement phase. An innovative production method is used for the obtaining of the MMCs by using the conception of the “capillary forming”, where the metal matrix (AISI 304) was forcedly infiltrated in the space between the reinforcement phase (Al 2 O 3 ) particles by vacuuming the space between reinforcement particles. A weighting method is used to determine the wear resistance by radial load in liquid and dry friction mode. The dynamics of mass variation in the wear process and the wear intensity are determined.
