Description:... This chapter introduces research conducted on metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs). The chapter reviews the material system used for MMNCs and explains the principles to choose the reinforcement for metal matrix composites. The mechanical properties of MMNCs fabricated by different processes are summarized and models used to predict and describe the effect of different strengthening mechanisms on MMNCs are introduced. Different approaches used to produce MMNCs are reviewed and categorized.
