Effect of Heat Treatment on Al2024 Reinforcement With Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube

Abstract

In this research paper, Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) reinforced with Al2024 were ball milled for homogenization of powder. Nanocomposite was developed using MWCNT reinforcement having 0.5%, 1.5%, and 2.5% weight percentage mixed with Al2024 by powder metallurgy technique. Samples were compacted using a hydraulic press and sintered. Further, sintered samples were solutionized by heating at 560º C followed by quenching and ageing, to
