Aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) are replacing monolithic materials for various applications due to their improved stiffness, strength, creep, wear and fatigue properties over monolithic materials. This improvement in the properties of the composite materials can be attributed to the addition of reinforcements. The aluminum matrix composites are finding wide applications in the field of automobile, aerospace, machine building etc. This paper presents a review on various properties of fly ash reinforced Aluminum matrix composites produced by stir casting method. The focus is made on the effect of various fractions of fly ash as reinforcement on the mechanical and tribological behavior of the aluminum matrix composites. The review includes the mechanical and tribological behavior of fly ash reinforced aluminum matrix composites. The studies shows that there is an improvement in mechanical and tribological behavior of the aluminum matrix composites with an increase in the fly ash percentage up to certain limit, and beyond which it results in decrease in the properties.
