Abstract: From the past and till the present scenario, the progress over aluminium metal matrix composites (AMMC) is primarily on the fabrication and mechanical characterization of the composites. The reason for focusing on aluminium composite because of their improved mechanical properties, low density, better corrosion resistance and low production cost are very much suitable for various applications in the field of automotive, aerospace and marine industries. The potential tribological behaviors of these composites are also mainly evaluated through dry sliding friction and wear testing. However, in this paper, in addition to the review of dry sliding applications, an attempt has been made to provide an extensive literature review on the effect of oil and oil additives on the sliding wear and friction behavior of aluminium composite. Due to the ever challenging demand for the minimization of wear and coefficient of friction for the AMMCsteel contact, wet tribology is being used. The authors, along with the sufficient evidences from their own works, show the influence of particle based additives over the conventional wet tribology which implies that the particle additives in oil can significantly enhance the tribological performance if suitably formulated, rather than just going for the base oil and other conventional additives.
