Abstract:	This paper presents a comparative analysis of morphology, chemical and phase compositions, and particle size distribution of nanopowders produced by electric explosion of wire (EEW) and plasma-chemical methods. The possibility of introduction of Al2O3 particles into Al alloy by means of a special master alloy and with ultrasonic processing is shown. The improvement of tensile properties of an Al-based composite material reinforced with 0.1wt% of EEWAl2O3 is demonstrated.
