Analysis of Aluminium Matrix Composite Using Oxidised Copper

This paper gives a vivid picture about Aluminium matrix composite. P/M aluminium and aluminium matrix composites offer lower density, improved strength, stiffness, and wear resistance. The materials are produced from both blended elemental powders and pre alloyed powders with additives by a range of processing routes such as sintering, compression and annealing. The purpose of the investigation is to study the characteristics of selected Al-Cu composition. Because aluminium is silvery –white in colour and extensively used where a light non corrosive metal is desired as an aircraft and automobile components where the saving of weight is an added advantage and moreover Aluminium finds its widest use when alloyed with small amount of other metals.
