Abstract
A single material cannot meet the demand of advanced materials; this has contributed in production of composites. Pure aluminium (Al) is soft with moderate strength and young’s modulus, however properties such as low density and corrosion resistance has attributed to intense interest it has attracted. For pure aluminium to comply with mechanical properties that are required in different engineering applications, its mechanical properties have to be enhanced. Alloying elements, Solid solution strengthening, strain hardening and precipitation hardening have been used to enhance mechanical properties of Al alloys. This work presents the preparation, characterisation, spark plasma sintering (SPS) and evaluation of aluminium-multi walled carbon nanotubes (Al-MWCNTs) composites’ mechanical properties...
