“…Diamond/Al composites are ideal materials for applications in heat sink and electronic packaging due to the combination of high TC and tailorable CTE, as well as the low density [71,72]. However, an obvious drawback of diamond/Al composites is their poor machinability [66], which strongly limits the use of these materials.…”

“…In order to improve the interfacial bonding of diamond/Al composites, Tan et al [71,72] proposed a vacuum hot pressing method to fabricate diamond/Al composites with high TC of 496 W m -1 K -1 compared to 325 W m -1 K -1 of diamond/Al composites fabricated by spark plasma sintering [112]. Chen et al [115] used vacuum hot pressing to fabricate graphite flakes/Al composites with high TC of 783 W m -1 K -1 .…”

“…Powder metallurgy processing method can be used to fabricate many kinds of C/Al composites, such as VGCFs/Al composites [65,[107][108][109], short carbon fibers/Al composites [110], diamond/Al composites [71,72,[111][112][113][114], graphite/Al composites [115], CNTs/Al composites and graphene/Al composites [7,8]. This process involves mechanical blending of carbon material [104,105] reinforcements with aluminum powders in a rotary mill, followed by compaction and sintering [8].…”

Carbon materials, including carbon fibers, graphite, diamond, carbon foams, carbon nanotubes, and graphene, are attractive reinforcements for aluminum matrix composites due to their excellent mechanical and/or physical properties as well as light weight. Carbon materials reinforced aluminum (C/Al) composites are promising materials in many areas such as aerospace, thermal management, and automobile. However, there are still some challenging problems that need to be resolved, such as interfacial reactions, low wettability, and anisotropic properties. These problems have limited the use of these composites. This review mainly focuses on the categories, fabrication processes, existing problems and solutions, coatings and interfaces, challenges and opportunities of C/Al composites so as to provide a useful reference for future research.
