The review study is to investigate the possibility of utilizing industrial waste materials as a strengthening component in the manufacturing of metal-matrix composites (MMCs) and assess the associated environmental benefits. The study focused on examining two distinct sets of waste materials: metal matrix composites that were reinforced with fly ash, and composites produced from different kinds of industrial waste materials. Technical and property-related data were reviewed to evaluate the potential of these waste materials in MMC production. The study results indicated that fly ash-reinforced metal-matrix composites exhibited exceptional physical and mechanical properties, which make them well-suited for various applications, particularly in the automotive sector. The research highlights the necessity for further studies to innovate advanced materials with improved properties while mitigating environmental pollution. Overall, the research demonstrates the potential of utilizing industrial waste materials as reinforcement in MMC production and underscores the importance of this approach for the future development of advanced materials.
