Coefficient of Friction for Aluminum Metal Matrix Composite

I am looking at increasing the coefficient of friction between 6061-T6 Aluminum and 304L stainless steel. One suggestion was to use an Aluminum Metal Matrix Composite in place of my T6 Aluminum. I was looking around on the internet trying to find some numbers as to the coefficient of friction between and Aluminum MMC and stainless, but haven't found anything. I know that this Al MMC can have different compositions, thereby changing the friction properties, so what I would be looking for would be a coefficient of friction range for the different compositions for this Al MMC. Would anyone have this information? Thanks Sean
