Abstract: Ploughing wear is the micro-level abrasive wear and in this type of wear material shifted to the sides of the wear surface. In this research work, 10015 grade mild steel and 6000 grade aluminum sample were experimentally investigated for ploughing and cutting wear. This experimental investigation for ploughing wear of (mildsteel and aluminum) under the effect of scratching/cutting at different forces which responsible for roughness and damage of surface and this rough motion of parts of machine decrease the efficiency and working life of machine such as parts of IC engine and compressors. A setup has been made on shaper machine on the place of clapper box and ploughing wear rate was estimated experimentally at various different operating parameters. The spring force was calculated with the help of stiffness and displacement of the spring and the cutting force was calculated by ultimate stress with the help of spring force. Ploughing wear was calculated by the cutting and spring force. The experimental results showed that ploughing wear directly proportional to the force and loss of material of specimen. The ploughing wear and coefficient of friction found minimum in mild steel sample in comparison of aluminum sample within the observed range of sliding velocity and force.
