Therefore, it isnecessary to know the properties of these materials such as mechanical, tribological and corrosion.In this study, the effect of different sliding speeds was investigated on wear behavior of aluminummatrix composite materials produced by adding different amounts of ZrO2 by mechanical alloyingmethod. 4 different amounts (3%, 6%, 9% and 12%) ZrO2 were added to the aluminum 2%graphite matrix. Composite powders mechanically alloyed for 60 minutes, were produced greencompact samples by cold pressed with a pressure of 700 MPa. The green compacts produced weresintered for 2 hours at 600 °C. The produced aluminum composites were characterized bymicrostructure, density and hardness measurements. Wear tests were carried out on a block onring type wear testing device, under 20 N load and three different sliding speed (0.2 ms-1, 0.4 ms1and 0.6 ms-1) and three different sliding distances (53 m, 72 m and 94 m). As a result of thestudies, hardness and density values increased as the amount of ZrO2 in the matrix increased. Weartest results showed that weight loss decreased with increasing amount of reinforcement in thematrix.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle7113368224
