“…Metallic matrix nanocomposites (MMNC) have recently received extensive attention due to their enhanced mechanical properties such as enhanced hardness, Young's modulus, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, fretting and wear resistance [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Currently, several routes, such as powder metallurgy [1,2], specially designed casting [3,4], in-situ approaches [5] and mechanical alloying [6][7][8], are available to prepare MMNCs.…”
