Mechanical properties of nanostructured Al2024–MWCNT composite prepared by optimized mechanical milling and hot pressing methods

Deformation and strengthening mechanisms of a carbon nanotube reinforced aluminum composite

“…The presence of Al and Al2Cu peaks could be clearly observed in both materials, confirming the results presented previously in Fig.4. [31,35], and (2) the difference in the crystal structures of magnesium (HCP) and aluminum (FCC) matrix while copper and aluminum have the same FCC crystal structure. It should be noted that no carbon peaks were detected in the 2.0 wt.% CNT/2024Al composite, which could be due to the light atomicity of the CNT content, being too small to be detected by XRD [33].…”

Effect of Heat Treatment on Al2024 Reinforcement With Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube

“…Theoretical densities were calculated using the rule of mixture for the sintered and sintered-heat treated samples. Hardness tests and tensile tests were carried out according to ASTM E92 standard [14] and the ASTM E8 standard for both types of samples [15].…”

Effect of coarse grain content on microstructure, cold workability and strain hardening behavior of trimodaled AA 6061 nanocomposites reinforced with multi-walled carbon nanotubes

“…The previous studies indicate that there is lot of scope for strengthening and enhancement of properties of AMCs by addition of MWCNTs. Furthermore, the use of mechanical milling to produce CNT reinforcing AMCs is still very limited [23][24][25]. In this regard, the work described herein deals with the production of novel Al alloy based nanocomposites by mechanical milling.…”
