The aim of this paper is to investigate the hardness and wear properties of the Magnesium based surfacecomposite produced by Friction Stir Processing (FSP) method. By employing three different type of tool pin profilesnamely cone, triangular and square separately to produce surface composites. The hardness and wear properties of thesurface composite fabricated with square pin profile were higher than other tool pin profile fabricated compositesamples. Grain refinement and uniform mixing of reinforcement particles in the matrix are the main reasons forenhancement of the wear properties of material. The wear worn out surfaces of the composites were investigated throughScanning Electron Microscope (SEM) for understanding the wear mechanisms.
