Fabrication of magnesium based composites reinforced with carbon nanotubes having superior mechanical properties

Magnesium (Mg) composite reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) having superior mechanical properties was fabricated using both pure Mg and AZ61 Mg alloy matrix in this study. The composites were produced via powder metallurgy route containing wet process using isopropyl alcohol (IPA) based zwitterionic surfactant solution with unbundled CNTs. The produced composites were evaluated with tensile test and Vickers hardness test and analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD). As a result, only with AZ61 Mg alloy matrix, tensile strength of the composite was improved. In situ formed Al₂MgC₂ compounds at the interface between Mg matrix and CNTs effectively reinforced the interfacial bonding and enabled tensile loading transfer from the Mg matrix to nanotubes. Furthermore, it was clarified that the microstructures and grain orientations of the composite matrix were not significantly influenced by CNT addition.     

Effect of solidification on microstructures and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes reinforced magnesium matrix composite

A novel approach was successfully developed to fabricate bulk carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced Mg matrix composites. The distribution of CNTs in the composites depends on the solidification rate. When the solidification rate was low, CNTs were pushed ahead of the solidification front and will cluster along grain boundaries. When the solidification rate was high, CNTs were captured by the solidification front, so the CNTs remained inside the grain. Moreover, good interfacial bonding was achieved in the composite under high solidification rate. Meanwhile, compared with the matrix alloy, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield strength (YS) of the composite were significantly improved. The mechanical properties of the composite under higher solidification rate are better than composite under low solidification rate and the alloy. Moreover, most CNTs on the fracture surfaces were directly pulled out from the matrix. The Kelly–Tyson formula agreed well with the experimental tensile value in the composite under higher solidification rate, and the load-transfer efficiency is almost equal to 1.     

Preparation and characterization of carbon nanotubes/aluminum matrix composites

2024Al matrix composite reinforced with 1 wt.% carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was fabricated by cold isostatic pressing, followed hot extrusion techniques. The microstructure characteristics and the distribution of carbon nanotubes in the aluminum matrix were investigated. The mechanical properties of the composite were measured at room temperature. Experimental results showed that CNTs were distributed homogeneously in the composite, and the interfaces of Al–CNTs bonded well. The grain size of the matrix was as fine as 200 nm, and with a small amount of CNTs additions, the elastic modulus and the tensile strength were enhanced markedly over those of the 2024Al matrix fabricated under the same process. The reasons for the increments could be due to the extraordinary mechanical properties of CNTs, the bridging and pulling out role of CNTs in the Al matrix composite.     

Tensile properties of carbon nanotube reinforced aluminum nanocomposite fabricated by plasma spray forming

Uniaxial tensile tests were performed on plasma spray formed (PSF) Al–Si alloy reinforced with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The addition of CNTs leads to 78% increase in the elastic modulus of the composite. There was a marginal increase in the tensile strength of CNT reinforced composite with degradation in strain to failure by 46%. The computed critical pullout length of CNTs ranges from 2.1 to 19.7 μm which is higher than the experimental length of CNT, leading to relatively poor load transfer and low tensile strength of PSF nanocomposites. Fracture surface validates that tensile fracture is governed strongly by the constitutive hierarchical microstructure of the plasma sprayed Al–CNT nanocomposite. The fracture path in Al–CNT nanocomposite occurs in Al–Si matrix adjacent to SiC layer on CNT surface.

Effect of electrophoretically deposited carbon nanotubes on the interface of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composite

The interface between reinforcing fiber and matrix is a crucial element in composite performance. Homogeneous and interconnected carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were deposited onto the surface of carbon fibers to produce multiscale reinforcement by electrophoretic deposition (EPD). Single fiber tensile tests showed that the tensile strength and Weibull modulus of the resulting multiscale materials were increased by 16 and 41%, respectively. Compared with as-received carbon fibers, CNTs-deposited carbon fibers provided the decreased surface energy by 20% and the increased adhesion work by 22% using modified Wilhelmy method. Results from single fiber pull-out testing showed that a significant improvement (up to 68.8%) of interfacial shear strength was obtained for the composites containing by CNTs/Carbon fiber multiscale reinforcement. All results strongly suggest that EPD process can provide a feasible platform for improving interface properties of advanced composites.     

Influence of nano-sized carbon nanotube reinforcements on tensile deformation,cyclic fatigue,and final fracture behavior of a magnesium alloy

Magnesium alloy (AZ31) based metal matrix composite reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was fabricated using the technique of disintegrated melt deposition followed by hot extrusion. In this research paper, the microstructure, hardness, tensile properties, tensile fracture, high cycle fatigue characteristics, and final fracture behavior of CNTs-reinforced magnesium alloy composite (denoted as AZ31/1.0 vol.% CNT or AZ31/CNT) is presented, discussed, and compared with the unreinforced counterpart (AZ31). The elastic modulus, yield strength, tensile strength of the reinforced magnesium alloy was noticeably higher compared to the unreinforced counterpart. The ductility, quantified both by elongation-to-failure and reduction in cross-section area of the composite was higher than the monolithic counterpart. A comparison of the CNT-reinforced magnesium alloy with the unreinforced counterpart revealed a noticeable improvement in cyclic fatigue life at the load ratios tested. At all values of maximum stress, both the reinforced and unreinforced magnesium alloy was found to degrade the cyclic fatigue life at a lower ratio, i.e., under conditions of fully reversed loading. The viable mechanisms responsible for the enhanced cyclic fatigue life and tensile behavior of the composite are rationalized in light of macroscopic fracture mode and intrinsic microscopic mechanisms governing fracture.
