Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of carbon nanotube (CNT) content on the mechanical properties of CNT-reinforced aluminium composites
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of carbon nanotubes (CNT) content on the mechanical properties of the composites was investigated, where cold compaction and hot extrusion were used to consolidate the ball-milled Al-CNT mixtures.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of carbon nanotube (CNT) morphology and diameter on the processing and properties of CNT-reinforced aluminium composites
TL;DR: In this article, it was found that the smaller diameter bent and entangled CNTs were more difficult to disperse with increase in CNT content compared to the larger diameter stiff and straight ones, which in turn affected the tensile properties and hardness of the composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spark plasma extrusion (SPE) of ball-milled aluminum and carbon nanotube reinforced aluminum composite powders
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a spark plasma extrusion (SPE) process to produce powder-based materials of extended geometries and bulk deformation under the influence of electric current which may yield materials with unique properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Properties of single and dual matrix aluminum–carbon nanotube composites processed via spark plasma extrusion (SPE)
TL;DR: In this paper, dual and single-matrix CNT-Al composites and milled aluminum processed via Spark Plasma Extrusion (SPE) are discussed and the effect of the microstructural design on the mechanical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization and Spark Plasma Sintering of Mechanically Milled Aluminum-Carbon Nanotube (CNT) Composite Powders
TL;DR: Carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced metallic composites have been recently gaining a significant amount of scientific interest as mentioned in this paper, with the promise of transmitting part of the remarkable and outstanding prope...
