The heat treatments have high influence on microstructure, hardness, tensile properties and Tribological behaviour of Al alloy. An experimental study was carried out to check the effect of annealing, oil quenching and water quenching on wear behaviour of Al-Mg-Si alloy. The experimentation is carried out on a cylindrical sample of 8mm radius and 20mm length, the samples were heated up to 450C and then allowed to cool in three different conditions, few samples were cooled in the water, a few were in oil and rest were left for cooling in the furnace itself, duration for cooling samples were fixed for 5 hours. Then all the samples were tested for different loading condition and speed on Pin on Disc apparatus.
