A study of wear behaviour on anodised PM aluminium matrix composites (AMC) reinforced with Saffil™ alumina short fibres was done. AMC was fabricated by powder metallurgy methods (PM) with using Al flake powders and Saffil™ alumina short fibres. AMC reinforced with 15 wt % Saffil™ alumina short fibre was selected because it showed optimum mechanical and physical properties. Sulphuric acid anodising process was performed and the objective is to obtain suitable parameters of sulphuric acid concentration, anodising voltage and anodising time on MMC. The study of anodising process was carried out with various sulphuric acid concentrations (from 0 to 20 % volume), anodising voltage (10 V to 20 V) and anodising time (from 0 to 60 minutes) at room temperature. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to investigate coating morphology and thickness. From the research, anodising voltage of 18 V and 15 % vol H2S04 in anodising time of 60 minutes were suitable parameters for sulphuric acid anodising of this AMC. SEM showed the coating thickness around 20 um. From the reserch, it was found that H2S04 anodising was able to give good coating to MMC.
