<p>Metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) have become an essential group of materials in industrial and engineering fields. Following more than 25 years of thorough research and advancement, these composites are progressively being incorporated into different industries, capitalizing on their distinct characteristics. By combining a metallic matrix with reinforcements such as ceramic particles, fibers, or other nonmetallic phases, MMNCs are able to produce materials with improved properties. The integration of simulations, physics-based prediction modeling, and experimental research in this study lays a strong foundation for the advancement of MMNC manufacturing techniques. This comprehensive approach not only assists in optimizing current processes but also facilitates the development of innovative materials tailored for specific industrial applications. Electrodeposited copper, nickel, tungsten, and other metal-based MMNC coatings are becoming increasingly popular because of their ability to enhance the properties of base materials, particularly corrosion resistance, hardness, wear resistance, and magnetic properties. This review explores the recent progress in electrodeposition methods employed for the production of these materials, emphasizing important breakthroughs and their significance for practical use in industry.</p> Graphical Abstract <p></p>
