Abstract

A multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-reinforced aluminum matrix composite was fabricated by ultrasonic metal welding. The composite microstructure was investigated using a scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum, and X-ray diffraction. The mechanical properties and microhardness of the composite were measured. The nanotubes were confirmed to be embedded into the metal matrix while maintaining their multiwalled structure. Measurements revealed that the mechanical properties and microhardness were obviously enhanced, the welded interface remained smooth, and no reactant was produced.
