“…The mechanical properties of the hybrid composite increase as compared to the base metal. Specifically, carbon nanotubes can be utilized as reinforcing elements in composites due to their exceptional properties [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. A carbon nanotube is a unique form of carbon structure, exhibiting both elasticity and flexibility, yet possessing remarkable hardness, being ten times stronger than steel.…”

In this study, Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were used as a reinforcement element in the hybrid composites of ZA27-Al2O3 produced by powder metallurgy routine. In the samples, the MWCNT were chosen as 1, 3, and 5 % respectively. By using planetary ball milling, the samples were produced in 4 hours with 10-diameter steel balls, and then the powders were pressed with a 20-ton capacity manual press machine after sintering at 400 °C. The microstructures of the composites were examined by optical microscope and their densities were measured with the principle of Archimedes. Furthermore, the mechanical properties were examined by applying the Vickers hardness test. The result indicates that the addition of MWCNT leads to increase in hardness values. The maximum hardness scale value is observed in the sample of ZA27-Al2O3-5% MWCNT.
