This paper provides a critical review on the current status of graphene-reinforced metal matrix composites (GRMMCs) in an effort to guide future work on this topic. Metal matrix composites are preferred over other types of composites for their ability to meet engineering and structural demands. Graphene is considered an ideal reinforcement material for composites due to its unique structure and extraordinary physical, thermal, and electrical properties. Incorporating graphene as a reinforcement in metals is a way of harnessing its extraordinary properties, resulting in an enhanced metallic behavior for a wide variety of applications. Combining graphene with bulk metal matrices is a recent endeavor that has proven to have merit. A systematic study is needed to critically examine the efforts applied in this field, the successes achieved, and the challenges faced. This review highlights the three main pillars of GRMMCs: synthesis, structure, and properties. First, it discusses the synthesis techniques utilized for the fabrication of GRMMCs. Then, it highlights the resulting microstructures of the composites, including graphene dispersion and interfacial interactions. Finally, it summarizes the enhancements in the mechanical, electrical, thermal, and tribological properties of GRMMCs, while highlighting the effects of graphene type and content on those enhancements.

“…Li et al, prepared graphene nano-platelets/Al composites using the powder metallurgy technique [5], whereas Huang et al, prepared graphene-reinforced Al-based nanocomposites with excellent hardness and tensile strength by employing the high-pressure torsion method [6]. Moreover, Shao et al, prepared 5083 Al matrix composites reinforced with graphene oxide and graphene nanoplates via the pressure infiltration method [7]. However, these methods are limited when preparing complex parts.…”

The Al4C3 phase was precipitated via a reaction of graphene (Gr) with Al during selective laser melting (SLM). The interfacial nature of the Gr (0001)/Al4C3 (0001) interface was determined using the first-principle calculation. The simulation results showed that the influence of the stacking site on the interfacial structure was limited and the Al-termination interface presented a more stable structure than the C-termination interface. The Al-termination-CH site interface had the largest work of adhesion (6.28 J/m2) and the smallest interfacial distance (2.02 Å) among the four interfacial structures. Mulliken bond population analysis showed that the bonding of the Al-termination interface was a mixture of covalent and ionic bonds and there was no chemical bonding in the C-termination interface.

“…C. Garcia-Cordovilla et al [20] and Yoshida et al [21] reported that a small amount of Mg in Al alloy could decrease the surface energy significantly, while the surface energy of Al-Mg alloys was decreased from 0.99 N/m in pure Al to 0.73 N/m in Al-9.1Mg. Therefore, the Al alloy with high Mg content was chosen as the matrix to promote the infiltration of the Al matrix [22,23]. Based on our previous work [24], the porous Al 2 O 3 scaffold was initially prepared by the freezing-dry method (Figure 1a).…”

Infiltrated molten Al matrix by mechanical-pressure infiltration method into the ceramic scaffold prepared by freeze-drying technology could prepare dense lamellar Al matrix composites without damage of the biomimetic microstructure of the scaffold. However, the investigation of lamellar Al matrix composites prepared by freeze-drying and mechanical-pressure infiltration method has not been fully understood yet. In the present work, the Al2O3 scaffold with pearl layer structure was prepared by freezing-dry method, and eventually the lamellar Al2O3p/Al composite was fabricated by mechanical-pressure infiltration method. The Al matrix was infiltrated well into the large pores of the Al2O3 scaffold, and the lamellar structure of the Al2O3 was well preserved. The hardness of the lamellar Al2O3p/Al composite was isotropic in transvers and perpendicular directions. However, the compressive strengths of the lamellar Al2O3p/Al composite were significant anisotropic while the compressive strength in transvers direction was 127.7% higher than that in the perpendicular direction, indicating the integrality of the lamellae microstructure (especially the bridging layers). Due to the mismatched deformability, weak debonding was observed between Al and Al2O3p/Al layers in the fracture surface of the lamellar Al2O3p/Al composite. It indicates that the interfacial bonding between Al and Al2O3p/Al layers is rather strong, which is beneficial for higher strength in transvers direction but lead to lower strength in perpendicular direction.
