Manufacturing of composite is one of the prominent and economical routes for development and processing of metal matrix composite materials. Composite is a multiphase material that exhibits a significant proportion of the properties of both constituting phase such that a better combination of properties is realized. The composite industry has begun to recognize that the commercial application of composites promise to offer much larger business opportunities than the aerospace sector due to the sheer size of transportation industry. A vast majority of the scientist reported that production of composites using mechanical properties as tensile strength, hardness, impact strength more uniform distribution of reinforced particle, metal matrix composite poses some attractive properties when compared with organic matrices. These include strength retention at higher temperature, higher transverse strength, batter thermal conductivity, higher erosion resistance. Buckling behavior of such materials are the keen area of research due to the instability of various materials subjected under variable loads and dynamic conditions. This article is a survey of literature on composite materials regarding their fabrication and characterization and its buckling behavior analysis.
