Abstract

This paper summarises the research work carried out in the field of carbon nanotube (CNT) aluminium matrix composites which are being investigated for their use in automobile and aerospace industries because of their low density and high specific strength .This paper addresses a brief description on fabrication techniques particularly ball milling which aims to achieve homogeneous distribution of CNT in the matrix. Also, the effect of ball milling parameters on CNT dispersion and the effect of CNT reinforcement on mechanical properties-toughness and hardness and friction and wear behaviour has been critically reviewed as well. The analysis presented here would be instrumental in the future design of high strength CNT/Al matrix composites.
