Pure copper and its composites reinforced with SiC particles were prepared by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) process. The tribological behaviour of copper and composites was studied on a pin-on-disc tester. The pins were slid against a hardened steel disc under dry ambient conditions. In two-body abrasive wear measurements, the disc surface was bonded with a SiC abrasive paper of 240 grit size. The abrasive wear measurements showed that soft copper exhibits an extremely high wear loss. However, additions of SiC particles up to 20 vol.% appeared to improve the abrasive wear resistance of copper significantly under the applied loads of 15–55 N. Dry sliding wear tests also indicated that the composite with 20 vol.% SiC exhibits a lower wear loss compared to pure copper. This was due to the reinforcing SiC particles being effective to reduce the extent of wear deformation in the subsurface region during sliding.
