Dispersion Analysis of Carbon Nano Tubes on Al/CNTs Metal Matrix Composites Produced by Ball Milling Process

In the current research work, is aimed to analyse the Dispersion effect of carbon nano tubes (CNTs) in Aluminium/CNTs metal matrix composites prepared by powder metallurgy (PM) method. To achieve the good dispersion effect of CNTs in aluminium powder ball milling procedure is adopted. Carbon nano tubes (CNTs), has incited overwhelming responses in the field of research due to its extraordinary potential in the form of reinforced composites. CNTs stand-out properties are its inherent strength and low density compare to graphene. But various challenges are faced when CNTs is used as reinforcement, namely the clusters formation, crack initiation and propagation which is mainly depend on arrangement or unpredictability of the added reinforcements. Consequence of carbon nano tubes reinforcement related to discrete on mechanical properties of Aluminium 6061 nanocomposites have been planned to be evaluated. Microstructure analysis are to be analysed for the developed composite.
