Abstract
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.
