The influence of load applied on wear depth of stir cast hybrid Gr/SiC/Al 6082 composites in a two-body abrasion was investigated in as cast (AC) and T6 heat-treated condition (T6). The obtained results were compared with its unreinforced alloy and SiC/Al 6082 composites. The parameters of the applied load (5–15 N), grit size (100 μm and 200 μm), and sliding distance of 75 m were used in this study. At 200-μm grit size, the wear depth of hybrid composites with respect to unreinforced matrix alloy was reduced by 38.1% (at 5 N load) and 16.2% (at 15 N load) in AC condition; 25.1% (at 5 N load), and 27% (at 15 N load) in T6 condition. The wear mechanisms were demonstrated through the analysis of wear surfaces.
