Abstract

Nowadays the use of composites in all most all manufacturing sectors is developing rapidly and is likely to increase more rapidly shortly. Aluminum alloy is playing a greater role in all engineering fields. Modern mechanical parts require superior properties, the material available in pure form do not have the required mechanical properties such as strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, etc. A Composite is formed by two or more physically and chemically distinct substances and which is fabricated to enhance the distinctiveness of base metal. The Present work has focused on properties of Carbon nanoTubes (CNTs) reinforced aluminum metal matrix Al 6060; Nanocomposites. These Nanocomposites are fabricated by using the stir casting method by varying the CNT reinforcement with a multi-walled size 10 to 15 nm weight percentage (0.3%, 0.7%, and 1%) of the Al 6060 matrix. To study its properties, the fabricated specimens are tested for mechanical properties. The properties of the Nanocomposites are found to be greatly influenced by the increase in weight percentage of reinforcement. With the mixing of different weight proportion reinforced particles by stir casting process properties of Tensile, Flexural, Impact, and hardness strength of composites are increased. The experimental values obtained from tests more useful in the development of Nanocomposites for different applications.
