The urgent desire for low density cheaper and super workability of material necessitate changing from aluminium alloy to composite materials Aluminium metal matrix composite has been produced as a result of high specific strength cheaper rate and resistance to wear which found major structural application in aerospace and automotive industry. Stir casting technique has been used because it is simple flexible and applied in production of large quantity of materials. Agricultural and agro industrial waste products which are cheaper and easily available like rice husk ask flyash bagasse ash and graphite has been utilized as reinforcements in aluminium matrix. This paper presents a review on improvement of aluminium alloy for engineering application. The study shows that inclusion of agro industrial waste improved mechanical properties of the developed material. Keywords aluminium metal matrix fly ash graphite reinforcement rice husk ash.
