The Influence of the Dispersion Method on the Microstructure and Properties of MWCNTs/AA6061 Composites

Abstract: The aim of this work was to study the effect of different methods of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) dispersion, and their influence on the microstructure and properties of aluminium alloy matrix composites produced using the powder metallurgy techniques, such as powder milling/mixing and hot extrusion. The main problem in the manufacturing of nanocomposites is the homogeneous distribution of MWCNTs in the metal matrix. To achieve their proper distribution a high-energy and low-energy mechanical milling… Show more

“…At present, composite materials represent a group of materials subject to constant improvement and continued research, mainly due to unlimited possibilities of combining the particular components used for their fabrication and due to outstanding properties of the input material after modifying the percentage content of its particular constituent materials [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

“…Advanced design requires a simultaneous combination of both low density, high corrosion resistance, good abrasion resistance and high strength properties. The engineering materials requirements for advanced constructions make it very often that engineers are forced to use more advanced technology [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. To improve the mechanical properties of metal alloys such as aluminum and magnesium as well as various type of steels (tool steels, stainless steels), thermal and chemical surface treatment are used [8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…The use of aluminum or magnesium alloys as components for cars and planes allows for significant weight reduction and thus reduces fuel consumption and operating costs [7,11,12,[14][15][16]. Aluminum alloys are characterized by low density, high electrical and thermal conductivity, high corrosion resistance as well as the impact strength does not decrease when the temperature drops.…”

“…The hardening effect of the metallic materials through the e. g. surface engineering, manipulation of chemical composition, heat treatment or severe plastic deformation was a subject of study of many scientists in recent years [10][11][12][13][16][17][18]. However, the ability to heat treat depends on the chemical composition of such alloys.…”
