The tremendous thermal and mechanical capabilities of carbon-based nanomaterials have drawn from researchers across the world. Composites reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), and fullerenes (C20) were utilized in this study to increase their strength. A hot extrusion approach and a solution-based semipowder metallurgical technology were employed. Microscopically and mechanically, the samples were tested. Mechanical properties were assessed through the use of roughness and tensile tests. Even a small amount of nanocarbon (0.25 wt %) significantly improved the toughness and hardness qualities of AA7075. Composite reinforced with C20 was found to have higher hardness and yield strength than any other samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
