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.

“…[ 2b ] As for the reinforcements, in situ TiB and TiC are considered as the optimal reinforcements because of their promising mechanical performance and superior compatibility with titanium. [ 2b,30b,31 ] Recently, the excellent thermal and mechanical properties of nano carbon nanotubes (CNTs), [ 32 ] graphene, [ 33 ] and diamond [ 34 ] also enable them as potential reinforcements of DRTMCs. However, avoiding clustering and interfacial reactions by traditional methods are still the major challenges for nano reinforcements.…”

Discontinuously reinforced titanium matrix composites (DRTMCs), as one of the most important metal matrix composites (MMCs), are expected to exhibit high strength, elastic modulus, high‐temperature endurability, wear resistance, isotropic property, and formability. Recent innovative research shows that tailoring the reinforcement network distribution totally differently from the conventional homogeneous distribution can not only improve the strengthening effect but also resolve the dilemma of DRTMCs with poor tensile ductility. Based on the network architecture, multiscale architecture, for example, two‐scale network and laminate‐network microstructure can further inspire superior strength, creep, and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. Herein, the most recent developments, which include the design, fabrication, microstructure, high‐temperature performance, strengthening mechanisms, and future research opportunities for DRTMCs with multiscale architecture, are captured. In this regard, the service temperature can be increased by 200 °C, and the creep rupture time by 59‐fold compared with those of conventional titanium alloys, which can meet the urgent demands of lightweight nickel‐based structural materials and potentially replace nickel base superalloys at 600–800 °C to reduce weight by 45%. In fact, multiscale architecture design strategy will also favorably open a new era in the research of extensive metallic materials for improved performances.

“…It is expected that analogous to conventional ceramic composites reinforced with micrometric fibres, the incorporation of GPLs can lead to considerable improvement in the compressive property of the metallic materials. Attempts have been made to produce GPL-reinforced metallic composites [4,[8][9][10]24]. Mu produced Ti composites with a low content (0.1wt%) of GPLs utilizing SPS and a hot rolling process and reported an approximately 54% improvement in the tensile strength.…”

“…Titanium and its alloys have been widely used materials and have applications covering aerospace parts, hip implants, automotive and marine components due to its low density, high strength and excellent corrosion resistance [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. In addition, it has been considered a very suitable material for elevated applications.…”
