    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: Carbon nanotube-reinforced magnesium matrix (CNTs/Mg) composite has great application potential in the transportation industry, but the trade-off between strength and ductility inhibits its widespread application. In order to balance the strength and plasticity of the composite, in this work, on the basis of the AZ61 matrix composite homogeneously reinforced by Ni-coated CNTs (hard phase), 30 vol.% large-size AZ61 particles are introduced as an isolated soft phase to fabricate hierarchical CNTs/AZ61 composites. The compression tests show the fracture strain and compressive strength of this composite increases by 54% and 8%, respectively, compared with homogeneous CNTs/AZ61 composite. During deformation, the hard phase is mainly responsible for bearing the load and bringing high strength, due to the precipitation of the Mg17Al12 phase, uniformly dispersed CNT and strong interfacial bonding of the CNTs/Mg interface through nickel plating and interfacial chemical reaction. Furthermore, the toughening of the soft phase results in high ductility. With the increase in CNT content, the compressive strength of composites is nearly unchanged but the fracture strain gradually decreases due to the stress concentration of CNT and its agglomeration.

    Abstract: In this paper, CNT/Mg composites with high compressive properties were prepared by using Ni-plated CNT and pure magnesium powder as raw materials through the grinding of magnesium powder, ball-milling mixing and hot-pressing sintering. The effect of grinding time for finer magnesium powder on the microstructure and properties of the final composites was studied mainly by SEM, XRD, HRTEM and compression tests. The results show that with the prolongation of milling time, the magnesium particle size decreases gradually and the CNT dispersion becomes more uniform. Moreover, the nickel layer on the surface of CNT reacts with highly active broken magnesium powder in the sintering process to generate MgNi2 intermediate alloy, which significantly improves interface bonding. The strength and fracture strain of composites are significantly increased by the combined action of the uniform distribution of CNTs and strong interface bonding from the MgNi2 phase. The compressive strength, yield strength and fracture strain of the composites, prepared with a 60 h grinding of magnesium powder, reached 268%, 272% and 279% of those in composites without the grinding of magnesium powder.

    Abstract: Carbon nanotube reinforced copper matrix nanocomposites have great potential in machinery, microelectronics, and other applications. The materials are usually prepared by powder metallurgy processes, in which consolidation is a key step for high performance. To improve the density and mechanical properties, the authors explored the use of hot oscillatory pressing (HOP) to prepare this material. A carbon nanotube reinforced copper matrix nanocomposite was synthesized by both HOP and hot pressing (HP) at various temperatures, respectively. The samples prepared by HOP exhibited significantly higher density and hardness than those prepared by HP at the same temperature, and this was because the oscillatory pressure of HOP produced remarkable plastic deformation in copper matrix during sintering. With the decrease of sintering temperature in HOP, the amount of deformation defect increased gradually, playing a key role in the increasing hardness. This work proves experimentally for the first time that HOP can produce much more plastic deformation than HP to promote densification, and that HOP could be a very promising technique for preparing high-performance carbon nanotube reinforced copper matrix nanocomposites.

    Abstract: The dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is the bottleneck in CNT-reinforced metal matrix composites. In this work, CNT/Mg composites were prepared by grinding Mg powder and then dispersing CNTs via ball milling and hot pressing. The uniform distribution of Ni-coated CNTs in the matrix was achieved by optimizing the content of CNTs. Scanning electron microscope, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, and compression tests were employed. With the CNT content being less than 1%, the CNTs can be evenly distributed in CNT/Mg composites, resulting in a sharp increase in strength. However, with the higher CNT content, the CNTs gradually cluster, leading decreased fracture strain and strength. Furthermore, the coated Ni in the CNTs reacts with the magnesium matrix and completely transforms into Mg2Ni, significantly enhancing the interface bonding. This strong interface bonding and the diffusely distributed Mg2Ni in the matrix significantly strengthen the CNT/Mg composite.
