Abstract: The primary objective of this work is to find out which material is best for composite structure. The biggest problem facing is to choose the material. Several parameters are kept in mind while choosing the material, including lower cost, weight, strength, stiffness, attractiveness, fatigue and tired life, temperature dependent on behavior, thermal insulation, oxidation, wear resistance, and affordability. Materials commonly used in airplane break discs, turbines, rotators etc., were studied and analyzed to determine the best material. The study is based on the analysis from 1950–2018. The paper concludes with a comparative analysis between various composite and monolithic materials based on a broad range of characteristic attributes, including strength, stiffness, weight, fatigue resistance, temperature tolerance, structural behavior, thermal insulation, conductivity, toughness join ability, oxidation resistance, wear resistance, cost-effectiveness, melting point, compressive strength, and thermal stableness. It is concluded that aluminum silicon carbide (Al-SiC) is the most appropriate material among copper, steel, pure aluminum, P92 steel, titanium, magnesium, and the aluminum alloy Al6061-T6511.
