This review article presents a systematic analysis of recent advancements in the fabrication of metal matrix composites (MMCs) over the past five years. MMCs are essential materials in various industries due to their superior properties, such as high strength-to-weight ratios, better corrosion resistance, improved wear resistance, and adaptability. These properties are achieved through continuous improvements in their fabrication methods, which have revolutionized the composite industry by enhancing mechanical, tribological, and metallurgical properties. The review covers traditional and advanced fabrication methods, including powder metallurgy, stir casting, and additive manufacturing, as well as novel techniques like friction stir processing (FSP), ultrasonic-assisted stir casting, and selective laser melting (SLM). The article also discusses the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in composite manufacturing. The review emphasizes the importance of process parameters in determining the microstructure and properties of MMCs, and highlights the benefits of improved reinforcement distribution and interfacial bonding. The review also discusses the effects of various fabrication methods on the mechanical, thermal, and corrosion resistance properties of MMCs, as well as their applications in industries such as automotive, aerospace, biomedical, and defense. The review concludes that advancements in MMC fabrication have significantly improved the performance and functionality of these materials, and that further research is needed to optimize fabrication processes and enhance the properties of MMCs for future applications.This review article presents a systematic analysis of recent advancements in the fabrication of metal matrix composites (MMCs) over the past five years.
