| Properties for comparison | Material type | Monolithic (pure Al or its alloys) | single reinforced aluminum composite | Hybrid reinforced aluminum composites |
| Physical | Insufficient | Good | Best | Mechanical | Low-to-medium | Medium-to-high | Very high or superior from the others | Wear | Wearable | Depends on the percentage of reinforcement, still insufficient | Excellent wear resistance | Corrosion | Moderate | Depends on the type of reinforcement, still no enough | Excellent corrosion resistance | CTE | High | Low | Very low CTE |
