Aluminium is one of the most use metal on earth surface which finds in application in almost every sector on the economy, right from the air craft industry where duralumin is used for aircraft body, in the space craft and rockets, medical science where aluminium finds its applications in various medicine to the small kitchen appliances like cans, foil, Kitchen utensils .with the development of building technologies, Various uses of aluminium have been emerged like the aluminium doors, frames and windows, Even the frames of the glasses are made of aluminium and its alloys, the major used of aluminium is in the automobile sector where the body of cars, scooter and sophisticated part where the need of aesthetic finish and the light weight technology is there, Aluminium and its alloy is the solution. Keeping in mind the use of aluminium and its alloy. A review on its Tribological properties have been done and its four major type of wear mechanism have been discussed in this study.

Keywords
