Abstract
The structural and unique features of a nanocomposite are superior to those of the constituent elements functioning alone. A nanocomposite is made up of one or more inert phases that are physically and chemically distinct from one another. Metal matrix nanocomposites are materials made from metals and ceramics that have been combined with nanoparticles or fibers to enhance their characteristics. For the fabrication of a wide variety of parts and components, the aerospace and aviation sectors regularly make use of Al-7075 composite material, which is a significant technical material. This metal matrix composite is well-liked because of its excellent strength-to-density ratio. This chapter gives a general overview of Al-7075 metal matrix composites. The aerospace, automotive, defense, marine, and industrial sectors are among the many industries that make extensive use of metallic matrix composites manufactured from aluminum alloys. These composites are favored for their extraordinary strength, improved thermal stability, as well as excellent resistance to corrosion and wear. Heat-treatable AA2024, AA6061, and AA7075 composites have attracted the interest of a variety of researchers because of the simplicity with which the characteristics of these matrix alloys may be tweaked to correspond with certain applications - their properties can be easily modified. This is due to the fact that these composites are easy to process and can be heat-treated. As a result of its high ultimate tensile strength, resistance to corrosion, and fatigue resistance, the AA7075 alloy is the alloy matrix that is used the most commonly within the group. As of right now, the review activity covers the various types of reinforcement materials that are employed and the main benefits of genetically modified.
