The atomic weight at. selection of Cu-Mg on the basis of stoichiometric calculations 1 unit at. of copper and 1 unit at. of magnesium preheated at 200 C were mixed in liquid aluminium base material heated in an electric furnace and melting temperature was kept at 750 C for about 10 min alone and this melt was hold at 7300C with alloying additions of copper and magnesium for about 30 min to ensure complete homogenisation Further this liquidous aluminium metal matrix was stirred at 800 rpm for five minutes and poured at temperature 7000C 10 0C in permanent mild steel mould preheated at 2000C in order to achieve as- cast aluminium alloy. The solution treatment at temperature 5000C for 2h followed by a quenching in water at 60 C. Further it was thermally aged at temperature 1600C for 6 h followed by quenching at room temperature. The effect of solution and aged temperature on mechanical properties by changing metallurgical morphology and further the role of intermetallic compounds on mechanical properties of as-cast alloy have been studied.
