The heat treatment-T6 offers significant benefits for Aluminum Matrix composites due to changes of structure and material properties like strength, hardness and corrosion resistance. In this study, the preparation of reinforced Molybdenum Disulfide With Al-Zn-Mg alloy composites done by stir casting methodology. Three parameters like temperature (A), Time duration (B) and quenching medium (C) are considered for Heat Treatment Process (HTP). Quenching medium, time and temperature are reserved as constant. The main aim is to compare corrosion or wear characteristics (WC) and Hardness (BHN) of prepared samples before and after HTP. POD device used to conduct test of wear rate. 12 experiments are carried out by change of MOS2 particles volume (5-20 w.t %) and Temperature (400-700º C). the experimental outcomes are discussed and compare the mechanical properties for stir-casting and T6-HTP.
