Aluminium 6063 is heat-treated extruded alloy that is used in a variety of engineering and structural components, such as aircraft wings and fuselages, railings, window frames, drive shafts, valves, and so on. Because of its great features, such as medium-to-high strength, excellent environmental resistance, low density, high elongation at break, and superior machinability, Al-6063 is widely used among the 6000 series of aluminum. An overview of the mechanical, tribological, and microstructural characteristics of stir-cast Al-6063 metal/matrix composites (MMCs) is provided in this paper. The purpose of this review article is to demonstrate how various reinforcements affect the metallurgical behavior of Al-6063 MMC. Particulate reinforcements such as Sic, Al2O3, Gr, B4C, Tic, fly ash, bagas ash, and red mud were stir-cast with Al-6063 alloy as single, dual, and triple reinforcements. Key findings describe the overall properties of Al-6063 MMC, providing researchers with a methodical methodology for selecting optimal parameters for the manufacturing of aluminium-based MMC with single, dual, and triple reinforcements. The overall properties of Al-6063 MMC are summarised, together with relevant findings, to provide researchers with a methodical strategy for selecting optimal parameters for aluminium-based MMC manufacturing.
