description Nanostructuring is a commonly employed method of obtaining superior mechanical properties in metals and alloys. Compared to conventional polycrystalline counterparts, nanostructuring can provide remarkable improvements in yield strength, toughness, fatigue life, corrosion resistance, and hardness, which is attributed to the nano grain size. In this review paper, the current state-of-the-art of synthesis methods of nanocrystalline (NC) materials such as rapid solidification, chemical precipitation, chemical vapor deposition, and mechanical alloying, including high-energy ball milling (HEBM) and cryomilling was elucidated. More specifically, the effect of various process parameters on mechanical properties and microstructural features were explained for a broad range of engineering materials. This study also explains the mechanism of grain strengthening using the Hall-Petch relation and illustrates the effects of post-processing on the grain size and subsequently their properties. This review also reports the applications, challenges, and future scope for the NC materials.
