Recent years witnessed a growing research interest in graphenereinforced aluminum matrix composites (GRAMCs).Compared with conventional reinforcements of aluminum matrix composites (AMCs),graphene possesses many attractive characteristics such as extremely high strength and modulus,unique selflubricating property,high thermal conductivity (TC) and electrical conductivity (EC),and low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE).A lot of studies have demonstrated that the incorporation of graphene into Alor AI alloy can effectively enhance mechanical and physical properties of the AI matrix.The purpose of this work is aimed to trace recent development of GRAMCs.Initially,this paper covers a brief overview of fabrication methods of GRAMCs.Then,mechanical,tribological,thermal and electrical properties of recently developed GRAMCs are presented and discussed.Finally,challenges and corresponding solutions related to GRAMCs are reviewed.
