Driven by the increasing requirements from aircraft producers, aluminium alloy matrix composites with carbon fiber reinforcement have been largely used in the modern industry. The method of traditional preparation of carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites is not only high cost and complex to produce but also difficult to apply in the civilian. The present paper focuses on exploratory study on the preparation of carbon-fiber- reinforced aluminum composites, the intensifying material is continuous long carbon fiber. In order to avoid any interfacial reactions in the carbon fiber reinforced composites, the carbon fibers were coated with copper. We made The tensile samples were made by using the mould, the tensile properties determined, the strengthening mechanism studied, and the carbon fiber in the matrix observed with the microscope.

Aluminum matrix composites refer to the class of light weight high performance aluminum centric material systems. The unique tailorability of the composite materials for the specific requirements makes these materials more popular in a variety of applications such as aerospace, automotive (pistons, cylinders, liners, bearings), and structural components, resulting in savings of material and energy. In this project, fabrication of Aluminum MMC by liquid metallurgy route (Squeeze Casting) is discussed in detail. The mechanical properties of 6082 aluminum alloy discontinuously – reinforced with fine particulates of SiCp reinforcement and solutionising time during heat treatment of the composite on hardness, density and impact strength have been evaluated. The cardinal reasons behind the variation in the hardness and impact strength have been discussed.
