In Multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) reinforced Aluminum Nano metal matrix composites (ANMMCs), the homogeneous dispersion of MWCNTs in the matrix material as well as manufacturing problems are the major challenges. A well dispersed MWCNTs aluminum nano metal matrix composites was fabricated by using compo-casting method. In this study, compo-casting was used to disperse up to 0.7 wt% of MWCNT in an aluminum alloy AA5083 matrix. AA5083 – MWCNT sample micro-structures were studied using Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). The chemical composition of the cast materials was investigated through EDAX spectrum and the expected dispersion of the MWCNT was achieved using this method.
