Aluminium was used in many industrial applications due to good properties such as ductile high corrosion resistant and high electrical conductivity. Since wear resistance of aluminium was very poor so that it was a limitation of using this material in several conditions. In this research aluminium was improved the wear resistance properties by using anodizing process and adding some titanium dioxide particles on the surface. The effect of anodizing process duration on the wear resistence property was studied. It was found that the process duration and amount of titanium dioxide play the important role on improvement of tribological properties of aluminium.

Aluminum is a lightweight material which are popularly used in various parts of the industry. However there are some limitations on the tribological properties such as abrasive wear and friction when it was compared to other metals. Tribological properties of aluminium was improved with anodizing process and silicon dioxide supplement. the effect of time on surface structure and friction coefficient were studied with with scanning electron microscope and sliding wear tester. It was found that friction coefficient of aluminium was decreased after improvement process was applied.
