Al7075 Composites Reinforced with Al2O3 and CNT Particles

Abstract

Nowadays, composite materials have made possible the design of more efficient machines and equipment, due to the improvement in their physical, mechanical and chemical properties. This kind of materials have different structures and characteristics unlike simple materials, since the combination of different structures results in a material with properties that are very useful in engineering applications due to its high resistance and lightness [1]. Composites are solid-state materials that have multiple phases in the nanoscale range and are incorporated with nanometer-sized particles within the matrix of an alloy or metal.
