Surface modification is the process of enhancing surface properties either through physical, chemical and biological effects in order to achieve superior surface quality. In this dissertation, initially the Aluminium composite is prepared using reinforcement of Boron Carbide nanoparticle which is inserted in a groove prepared on the specimen (AA5083 plate). Furthermore, the specimens are then taken for various tests including Ultimate Tensile Strength, Yield Strength, and characterization of material with the help of XRD and Tribological behavior of material respectively. Results are noted and taken to Analysis of variance for checking the feasibility of the designed model. It is discovered that, p- values for various responses were less than 0.05 which indicates that model is significant while lack of fit is maintained insignificant. Eventually, for obtaining the optimum values for various responses, F value was taken in order to investigate the dominating parameters. Finally conclusion were drawn which reveals that raising the TRS and Number of passes while dropping the TTS promotes better results.
