Abstract
Carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced magnesium (Mg) matrix composite rod was successfully fabricated by mechanical ball milling followed by hot extrusion processes. CNTs used were multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The starting Mg chips were ball-milled under argon atmosphere for 3 h to coat the surface of Mg chips with the pretreated MWCNTs. The CNT-coated Mg chips were then mixed with aluminum (Al) powder at the compositions of Mg-6 wt.% Al-x wt.% CNT (x = 0.5, 1, 2 and 4). The mixture was cold compacted and finally hot extruded.
