Laser cladding is a growing technological method that utilizes a navigating high power
laser for melting a small region of the substrate; it has a function of trapping and melting
entering powder particles. Hence, the process leads to the development of a new
stratum. Aluminum alloy Matrix composites afford properties suchlike high wear
resistance, high tensile strength, lightweight; this composites is finding wide applications
in automotive industry. This review presents a brief discussion on laser cladding for
aluminum base alloys for automotive industry with emphasis on aluminum alloys matrix
composite for automotive industry.
