This Review paper mainly focuses on the processing technique of carbon nanotube reinforced materials with light material matrix composites of the powder metallurgy route. Different mixing/alloying conditions are used for carbon nanotube dispersion (CNT) in the Aluminium matrix using a ball milling process with ball milling time, milling speed, Ball to powder (BPR) ratio, and Process control agent (PCA). Processing parameters are discussed, such as sintering temperature, sintering time, pressure, and heat treatment condition. Mechanical and microstructural properties are discussed.
