The copper provides substantial increases in strength and facilitates precipitation hardening. The copper in aluminum can reduce ductility and corrosion resistance. The susceptibility to solidification cracking of aluminum-copper alloys is increased; consequently, some of these alloys can be the most challenging aluminum alloys to weld. These alloys include some of the highest strength heat treatable aluminum alloys. The main uses for aluminium alloy are in internal combustion engines. In this work we are interesting to investigate the mechanical properties of aluminium alloy to vary the percentage of copper. The results showed that with the increasing of copper content the solidification time increased, and increase of both the ultimate tensile strength and the hardness is obtained by the increase of the copper content.
