Abstract
Composites containing metal at least in two constituent parts are metal matrix composites. Another material may also be used like organic compounds or ceramics, in addition to a different metal. In the current work Al5056 aluminium powder is used as the matrix material having an average particle size was about 35±5 μm and Carbon Nanotube (CNT) and Graphene (Gr) are used as reinforcement materials. Hybrid composites are developed using an advanced powder metallurgy technique process. Also, in the existing work microstructure characterization was performed using advanced techniques. Hardness, Tensile and wear tests are conducted as per ASTM standards. Mechanical properties improved with the increase in amalgams in the matrix. The wear surface morphology of Al alloy shows a rough surface with more grooves and ridges compared to the wear surface morphology of Al5056/CNT-Gr hybrid composites. Wear debris results of Al alloy show more debris chips out of the material compared to Al5056/CNT-Gr hybrid composites.
