Abstract :
Metal matrix composites have revolutionized
the material industry by producing lightweight
materials with high mechanical properties such as
hardness, impact, compressive strength with corrosion
resistance. Their invention has contributed effectively to
the aerospace industry and automobile industry. This
paper reviews different works on the effects of various
fabrication and manufacturing processes on the nature
of MMC’s, the change in properties that makes it
suitable for industrial purpose and also its various
applications. The focus is also embedded upon the
microstructural changes that occurs once the Metal
Matrix Composites are exposed to heat treatment.
Unlike the conventional techniques, the paper also
focuses on the fabrication methods that produce high
quality material in high amount
