reduced the chance of direct metallic contact, thereby small diameters owing to the poor wet ability

about the Machinability of MMC and observed 4. Experimental setup
MMC was very different from traditional materials
because of abrasive reinforcement element. This was 4.1. Specimen preparation
due to abrasive element causes more wear on cutting The MMCs were prepared by using cast aluminium
tools. Flank wear of cutting tool are also increased alloy Al 6061 as matrix and Al 2 O 3 , SiC, Eglass fiber

matrix composites using Aluminium oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) R R R R proportions. Table 1 shows the percentage

different orientations of fibers, PR-orientation and N-
orientation and three different ratios of
reinforcements.. They observed that the wear
resistance of the specimens with the N-orientation of
the fibers is better than that with the PR-orientation
for all the three hybrid ratios. The coefficient of
friction decreases when the temperature increases.
Furthermore, although the hybrid ratio has little
effect on the coefficient of friction, the fiber
orientation had a greater effect on this. SURESH et.al
[7] investigated the wear behaviour of Al6061MMCs
