The paper presents the results obtained from tribological tests of F3S.20S aluminium composite material containing (20% (v/v) SiC and AlSi9Mg alloy). The tests were carried out on raw samples (without thermal treatment) and on samples subjected to T6 thermal treatment (solutioning and ageing). This composite is applied as a modern construction material in automotive industry for manufacturing of pistons and brake discs. Significant change in properties of these materials is possible as a result of SiC reinforced particles introduction. Therefore ball-on-disc wear tests have been carried out. The analysis of microstructure was carried out in upper layer of matrix and composite after wear tests. It has been demonstrated that SiC reinforced composite is characterized by lower wear in comparison to the matrix and that adhesive and abrasive wear were the dominant phenomena during the tests.
