Fabrication of aluminium carbon nano tube silicon carbide particles based hybrid nano-composite by spark plasma sintering

The present research paper focuses on fabrication of, aluminum (Al) – carbon nano tubes (CNTs)-silicon carbide particles (SiCP)hybrid nano-composites using element-alloying of Al, CNTs, and SiCP powder particles into homogenous powder mixture and sintering the mixture of powders using Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). The effect of CNTs wt. percentage (1, 3, and 5 wt%) and SiCp as a reinforcement on the mechanical properties and microstructural...
