Abstract

Aluminum is utilized extensively in the domains of aerospace, electronic technology, electric module packing, automotive body structure, solar and wind energy management, and so on because of its better potential for weight reduction. Strength of aluminum is very less so application is limited where high strength is needed. Aluminum alloy which have greater potential for weight reduction as well as high strength to weight ratio have ability to overcome these problem. Aluminum alloy have major application in aerospace, shipbuilding, and automotive industries, it is able to provide the greater mechanical characteristics needed by modern technologies but high wear rate and not able to withstand high temperature. So it is very necessary to reinforcement some nanomaterial which improve the overall characteristic of material. In this investigation a thorough summary of the recent development of nanomaterial and its effect on aluminum alloy is studies through powder metallurgy route. This study also contributes to the understanding of material behavior and supports the development of high-performance aluminum alloys for innovative engineering solutions.
