Abstract :
The drastic growth as well as progress of metal matrix composites are playing vibrant role in various sectors.
Aluminum matrix composites have the impending of less density engineering materials through superior mechanical
as well as tribological characteristics. Aluminum metal matrix composites is widely utilised in aeronautical,
aerospace and automobile sectors due to its high strength and low density characteristics. This review article
emphasis on the compilation of the work accomplished by various researchers on the aluminum metal matrix
composite reinforced with graphene. As a matter of fact, graphene is reinforced with aluminum matrix composite
subjected to numerous manufacturing routes like powder metallurgy, stir casting, in-situ processes for different
applications. An endeavour is made to address the effect as well as influence of the graphene reinforced with
aluminum metal matrix composite on the mechanical and microstructural characteristics are addressed in the
literature. Further, the influence of various criterion like graphene percentage, processing method, process parameters
adopted during the manufacturing process and behaviour of aluminum metal matrix composite is also presented.
