Aluminum Nano Metal Matrix Composites are extensively utilized for high-performance operations such as branches of engineering and medicine due to their enhanced physical and mechanical properties compared to traditional metals and metal alloys. In this research, Al6063 alloy was reinforced with 15 nm sized Magnesium Oxide particles in different weight percentages. The development of Nano Metal Matrix Composites (NMMC) was completed through stir casting method at 750 °C temperature. The fabricated Nanocomposites were examined for the mechanical properties and impact of drilling parameters on chips and burr formation. The input parameters adopted for analysis were speed, feed, and material of the drill tool. The drill tools made of HSS & TiN coated HSS were utilized in the drilling of NMMC. The influence of process parameters on chips and burr formation were analyzed and optimized the process parameters for better output intended for this experimental environment through the Artificial Immune Algorithm technique.

Micro sized particles such as SiC, Al2O3and diamond particles reinforced with metal matrix composites are most commonly used in high performance applications like military, automotive and aerospace industries. Nowadays nano sized particles are replacing the micro sized particles because of their improved physical and mechanical properties. This paper reviews the stir processing method, mechanical properties, effect of particle size on properties of composites and structure of the metal matrix composites reinforced with nanoparticles. Among the variety of liquid metallurgy techniques processes available for preparing metal matrix composites, stir casting technique is generally accepted route and currently practised commercially because of its simplicity flexibility and Uniform distribution.
