| Summary: | A review of various properties of ceramic-reinforced aluminium matrix composites is presented in this paper. The
properties discussed include microstructural, optical, physical and mechanical behaviour of ceramic-reinforced
aluminium matrix composites and effects of reinforcement fraction, particle size, heat treatment and extrusion
process on these properties. The results obtained by many researchers indicated the uniform distribution of
reinforced particles with localized agglomeration at some places, when the metal matrix composite was processed
through stir casting method. The density, hardness, compressive strength and toughness increased with increasing
reinforcement fraction
