The influence of nitriding on the wear behaviour of graphite reinforced aluminium 6061 alloy composites is investigated in this work. Al alloys have several advantages over nonmetallic materials, including light weight, corrosion resistance, workability, and thermal conductivity. The liquid metallurgy process was used to make the composites. The graphite content of the composites was changed in 2 percent increments from 3 to 7 percent (by weight). For 24 hours, the nitriding process was carried out at 500°C. The wear behaviour of three types of specimens, namely nitrided composites, non-nitrided composites, and alloy specimens, was investigated. For wear testing, pin-on disc equipment was employed. The implantation of nitrogen in the composites was confirmed using the X-Ray Diffraction method (XRD). It was discovered that nitrided composites outperform non-nitrided composites in terms of wear resistance. It may be deduced that the efficiency of the graphite particles in lowering the wear rate of composite materials is determined by the capacity of the sheared reinforcing layers to stick to the sliding surface.
