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
