Abstract :
Aluminium alloys are extensively used in aircraft, automobile and other engineering structures. The reason
for this large application is due to a wide range of excellent properties including low density, corrosion resistance
and high strength to weight ratio excluding its strength. In this paper Al-Cu binary alloy is considered in different
weight propositions with aluminium as main component and varying copper content from 2-6% in weight. Wear test
were carried out using a pin on disc apparatus and found that there is more wear in Al-6Cu composition by 38%.
