Popis: In this study, mechanical properties of aluminium alloy C355.0 was investigated for Sand Casting, Die Casting and Centrifugal Casting Technique. Mechanical properties like tensile test was performed using PC2000 software, and Brinell hardness test was performed. Die casting was observed to have good tensile and hardness properties compared to sand and centrifugal castings Microstructure analysis was done by Nikon Microscope LV150with Clemax Image Analyser. From the observation die casting had uniform distribution of silicon. Wear behavior of the alloy studied using sliding wear test. Good wear specific wear rate was found in all the casting but the best was observed in die casting at 20N load.
