Abstract: In this present study, wear behavior of Al 5456 Alloy reinforced with 0,3 and 6 wt %TiB2 were investigated by ANOVA and Taguchi’s (L9 ) method. The composite samples were prepared by stir casting technique. Wear experiment was carried out by pin on disc apparatus under the different parameters of loads (10N, 20N and 30N), sliding velocity (2,4 and 6m/s) and time (10,15 and 20 min).This paper revealed that addition of Titanium diboride (TiB2 ) improves the wear resistance of Al5456 composite. The result showed that wear rate was decreased with increasing the weight percentage of TiB2 . ANOVA and Taguchi method results were tabulated in MINITAB-18 Software package to analyze the influence of individual parameters on the wear rate. Additionally, regression equation was also found the relation between input parameters and wear rate.
