Abstract:
Aluminium-based composites are extensively employed for high-performance applications in the
automotive and aircraft industries on the basis of their superior mechanical characteristics
comprising light weight, high specific strength and excellent malleability. Different metals and
alloys are fabricated as composites using various combinations of materials with various
fabrication methods. The current article explores a detailed overview of the methodologies,
including solid, semi-solid, liquid and vapour routes, adopted by many researchers for the
synthesis of reinforced aluminium-based materials. The influence of reinforcement in terms of
natural resources and industrial waste considered recently is briefly discussed. Based on the
literature review, research work has also focused on exploring the most economical and frequently
employed synthesis methods for the fabrication of aluminium matrix composites.
