Enhanced mechanical properties and wear resistance of cold-rolled carbon nanotubes reinforced copper matrix composites

Abstract: Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/Cu composite containing 0.5 vol% MWCNTs were prepared by a high energy ball milling followed by conventional sintering and finally cold rolling. Microstructure studies showed that MWCNTs were uniformly dispersed and implanted inside the Cu matrix. The MWCNT/Cu composites showed an improvement in hardness and tensile strength up to 37% and 44% respectively compared to those of pure Cu. The enhancement is attributed to the uniform dispersion and strengthening due to the addit… Show more

“…The mechanism of load transfer strengthening has a leading role in interpreting the influence of CNTs on the strengthening of Cu/CNT composites. Duong et al 49 observed that, in Cu/CNT composites, the enhanced hardness and tensile strength are attributed to the interfacial bond strength between the strengthening materials (CNTs) and Cu matrix. Therefore, the increment in hardness with the CNT content is related to the participation of the more interfaces between the Cu matrix and CNTs, which act as a bridge to transfer the mechanical loads, and therefore increase the elastic modulus ( ).…”

“…TiC improves the sliding wear resistance of aluminium alloys. TiC is the hard particle that resists the destructive action of abrasion and protects the surface, so by increasing its percent, the wear resistance enhances [25]. SEM micrographs of worn surfaces of specimens under 10 N applied load is presented in Fig.…”
