The objective of this research is to study the wear mechanism of ZE41A magnesium alloy coated with WC/Cu material using EDC (Electro discharge coating). Dry sliding experiments were conducted with pin on disc method with different sliding condition such as normal load (1.5 kg - 3.5 kg), sliding speed (100rpm - 300 rpm) and sliding time (3min - 7min). Wear mechanism map was drawn against sliding condition of normal load and sliding speed which has been utilized to study the dominance of particular wear mechanism that dominates a particular wear regime. Different wear regime such as mild wear, severe wear ultra severe wear was developed by adjustment of contour line of the wear rate map. Various mechanisms such as abrasion, oxidation, delamination, plastic deformation and melting were observed in the worn surface.
