Abstract High volume fraction silicon SiC/Al composites, characterized by SiC content exceeding 50vol%, demonstrate exceptional specific strength, specific stiffness, and outstanding high-temperature resistance and wear resistance. These superior properties have enabled their extensive applications in aerospace, electronic information systems, and microwave integrated circuits. As a critical determinant of material performance, the preparation technology for such composites has emerged as a research focus in advanced materials manufacturing. This review systematically examines current research progress in fabrication methodologies for high volume fraction SiC/Al composites, aiming to elucidate technological advancements, identify key challenges, and propose future development directions. The paper categorizes existing preparation techniques into direct and indirect approaches, with particular emphasis on powder metallurgy-based processes, while analyzing their operational mechanisms, distinctive features, and technological maturity. Recent advancements in hybrid preparation strategies developed from conventional methods are highlighted, showcasing technological innovations that enhance production efficiency, reduce manufacturing costs, and improve material quality. Finally, the problems that need to be overcome in the development of high volume fraction SiC/Al composite materials and their future development trends were discussed, in order to play a more important role in more fields.
