Abstract

In this work, Fe₃Al-based composites reinforced with carbon nanotubes were fabricated by a hot-press sintering process under various sintering pressures. The effects of sintering pressure and additives (alumina and lanthanum) on both the physical and the mechanical properties were systematically investigated. Results showed that with the sintering pressure of 15 MPa and incorporation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), the microhardness of Fe₃Al composite exhibited a peak value at 1038.1 HV, which was ~ 60% higher than those without the addition of carbon nanotubes (644.9 HV). Also, both the compressive yield strength and the thermal conductivity of Fe₃Al composite were also significantly improved. Results of wear test showed the Fe₃Al composite exhibited a low wearing rate (10⁻⁶-10⁻⁵ order of magnitude) and a friction coefficient (0.53-0.67).
