Effect of CNT Content on Microstructure and Properties of CNTs/Refined-AZ61 Magnesium Matrix Composites
Tóm tắt
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced magnesium matrix composites have great application potential in the transportation industry, but the low absolute strength is the main obstacle to its application. In this paper, copper-coated CNTs and AZ61 powder were used as raw materials to prepare CNTs/refined-AZ61 composites with good interfacial bonding, uniformly dispersed CNTs and fine grains by the process of ball milling refinement of AZ61 powder, ball milling dispersion and hot-pressing sintering. When the volume fraction of CNTs is less than or equal to 1 vol.%, CNTs can be uniformly dispersed and the yield strength and compressive strength of composites increase with higher CNT content. When the volume fraction of CNTs is 1 vol.%, the compressive strength and yield strength of composites reach 439 MPa and 361 MPa, respectively, which are 14% and 9% higher than those of matrix composites with nearly the same value of fracture strain. When the volume fraction of CNTs is greater than 1 vol.%, with the increase in CNT content, CNT clustering becomes more and more serious, resulting in a decrease in the strength and fracture strain of composites.
