Abstract

In the present study, compressive behavior of CNT reinforced Al2124 and Al6061 nanocomposites was investigated. The powders were sonicated for 30 minutes then ball milled at 200 rpm for 1 hour under argon environment. The ball milled slurry was dried and again was milled under same conditions for 15 min to disperse the agglomerated particles. The prepared powders were spark plasma sintered at 35 MPa and 450°C. Sintered specimens with final dimensions of 6 mm diameter and 12 mm length were used as standard specimens for compression tests carried out at a compression rate of 0.5 mm/min. The effect of CNT addition on the compressive modulus, percentage compression, and compressive strength was investigated.
