An examination of Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites (AMMCs) dry sliding wear activities reinforced with reinforcements along with carbides, oxides, and nitrides. However, from the analysis, the method adopted for the composite processing plays a crucial role in achieving a uniform homogeneous composition. Preparation of base metal and reinforcement powders plays a vital role in the process of powder metallurgy, improving wettability between reinforcement particles and molten base metal in liquid metallurgy is a difficult task. AMMCs wear activity is based on different test parameters. As mechanical and tribochemical are the process involved in substance removal during dry sliding wear is subdivided into groups. The loss of reinforcement from the AMMCs through sliding wear decreases the wear rate due to abrasion by three parts. The use of solid lubricant decreases wear severity through the formation of a tribolayer between the rubbing surface. Optimizing the wear intensity is through the use of suitable replacements with optimal lubricants.
