This paper deals about the importance of composites as engineering materials which is reflected by the fact that mostof the materials which are available in the market are composites. These composites replaced cast iron and bronzealloys due to their poor wear and seizure resistance. Due to the wide choice of materials, today's engineers are posedwith a big challenge for the right selection of a material and the right selection of a manufacturing process for anapplication. There are more than 50,000 materials available to engineers for the design and manufacturing ofproducts for various applications. In the present study, based on literature review, the effect of Boron Carbide particlereinforcements are finding increased applications in aerospace, automobile, space, underwater and transportationapplications. This is mainly due to improved mechanical and tribological properties like strong, stiff abrasion andimpact resistant and it is not easily corroded. In a review of different researchers have been made to consolidate someof the aspects of mechanical and wear behaviour of Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites reinforced with BoronCarbide particles.
