Metal matrix and carbon nanotube composites (CNTs) have a great potential in advanced applications like aerospace and automotive, lower weight lead to saving energy. CNTs based composite materials have gained a great deal of attention from both scientific and industrial communities owing to the fascinating properties of CNTs. The present study investigated the successful fabrication of composite materials based on metal particles and CNTs using a planetary ball milling (PBM) technique with an optimized condition. Various important parameters of PBM have been systematically explored in order to improve the properties of the composite materials. The results were systematically analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). After compacting, metal/CNT nanocomposite sintered in a vacuum tube furnace at various sintering conditions, the increased both hardness and electrical conductivity has been observed with the increase sintering temperature. |
