Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are one of the significant engineering materials for many industrial applications. The growing interest in MMCs stems from their strong mechanical properties, including their higher specific mechanical strength and excellent corrosion and wear resistance. From an industrial viewpoint, the ability of MMCs to undergo secondary processing is significant. This review aims to clarify the effects of cryorolling on the microstructure, mechanical properties and wear behavior of different aluminum-based MMCs. In particular, aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) produced through the stir-casting approach experience an additional cryorolling procedure to enhance their tensile mechanical strength and wear resistance. This hybrid manufacturing approach has shown promise in creating effective structural components. This review covers the production of ex situ aluminum-based composites formed by stir casting and then cryorolling. It also highlights how the particle size, volume fraction, and the cryorolling procedure affect the microstructure, wear, and mechanical properties. This approach could broaden the uses of hybrid manufacturing by demonstrating its practical advantages and efficiency. Furthermore, this review highlights the importance of implementing machine learning (ML) models and life cycle assessment (LCA) in evaluating MMCs produced through stir casting.
