Metal matrix composite (MMC’s) are very muchfamiliar in the field like automobile and aerospace industriesowing to their excellent wear and mechanical properties . Thefundamental aim of this paper is to augment cognizance amongstthe researchers and to attract their consideration towards thepresent approach to treat with the cryogenic usage for thenonferrous metals. In this writing it is endeavor to deliver theexamination findings of character of cryogenic usage on WearProperties of Al356-ZrSiO4 Particulate Reinforced metal matrixComposites adapted by Stir Casting technique. The amount ofreinforcement is changed from 0 to 12wt% in track of 3 %. Theready composites are exposed to wear testing as per ASTMstandards using pin on disc machine .The hardness of thecomposites was found to augment with augment in reinforcementin the composite. The inference obtained discloses that asreinforcement content in the composites increment and executionof cryogenic usage to composite amended the wear resistance.
