    Abstract :

    Copper has been the most common alloying element almost since the beginning of the aluminum industry, and a variety of alloys in which copper is the major addition were developed. Most of these alloys fall within one of the following groups:Al and Al alloy based composites have been characteristics as futuristic materials for a number of engineering purposes. And the material are more preferred by engineers because of their great strength, low density, enhanced and tailored high refractoriness properties, stiffness and damping capabilities. The principle advantage is that MMCs can be use to a significantly higher temperature. Increasing quantities metal matrix composites MMCs being used to replace conventional materials in numerous applications, especially in the automobile and recreational industries. MMC's provide a better combination of Specific strength and modulus compared to monolithic alloys like aluminum, magnesium, copper, nickel and steel in relevance, commonly light weight and energy savings are essential design considerations.In recent years there was a great deal of interest in particulate-reinforced metal-matrix composites (MMCs), and in particular those based on existing aluminium alloys
