Abstract: Metal matrix composite (MMC’s) are very much familiar in the field like automobile and aerospace industries owing to their excellent wear and mechanical properties . The fundamental aim of this paper is to augment cognizance amongst the researchers and to attract their consideration towards the present approach to treat with the cryogenic usage for the nonferrous metals. In this writing it is endeavor to deliver the examination findings of character of cryogenic usage on Wear Properties of Al356-ZrSiO4 Particulate Reinforced metal matrix Composites adapted by Stir Casting technique. The amount of reinforcement is changed from 0 to 12wt% in track of 3 %. The ready composites are exposed to wear testing as per ASTM standards using pin on disc machine .The hardness of the composites was found to augment with augment in reinforcement in the composite. The inference obtained discloses that as reinforcement content in the composites increment and execution of cryogenic usage to composite amended the wear resistance.
