Abstract
In the present scenario, weight diminution and strength enrichment are the main requirements for escalating the application of a nano composite material in different sectors. Several industrial sectors, such as automobile, defense and aerospace, are making various components of nano composites with the help of powder metallurgy processing. In this study, Al nanoTiCp composites (2, 4 and 6 wt %) were contrived through modified powder metallurgy (PM) techniques with the help of Cold Isostatic Compaction process (CIP). The mechanical properties such as density, porosity, micro-hardness, compressive strength and indirect tensile strength were increasing with the reinforcement of nanoTiCp particles up to 4 wt % in Al metal matrix composites. Nevertheless, clustering of nanoTiCp particles were found at 6 wt %, which is also observed in SEM images.

Summary
In the 21st Century, the application of nanotechnology has rapidly enhanced in all areas. Scientists have a big interest in aluminum matrix nano composites (AMNCs) due to their high stiffness, lightweight, high strength-to-weight ratio, lowercost, ease of production and high dimensional tolerance [1]. It is widely used in automobile sectors and the aerospace industry [2]. A lot of literature is available about several ceramic nano particles, such as SiC, B4 C, h-BN, TiCp and MgO that are reinforced in the AMCs to enhance the wear properties, mechanical properties and microstructure of the composites [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12].
