Now a day’s single reinforced composites are replaced by hybrid composite due to tailorable properties. Aluminium alloys are generally used in aerospace and automobile industries due to their better properties such as high stiffness and specific strength, good corrosion and wear resistance, low coefficient of thermal expansion etc. The purpose of present study is to provide detail review on mechanical and tribological performance of hybrid aluminium matrix composites fabricated with different combination of reinforcement filler. The different methods of fabrication for these composites are also reviewed. It is concluded form most of the research papers that mechanical and tribological properties of composites are enhanced with different combination of reinforcement and increase in percentage addition of reinforcement.
