Abstract
Five volume percent of carbon nanotubes and 2024Al alloy powder were mixed with ball milling method, and then the composite was fabricated at 873 K by hot pressing sintering technique. The microstructure of the composite was investigated using optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The experimental results showed that carbon nanotubes are reacted and changed into Al4C3. Nano-Al4C3 phases with needle shape are distributed mainly on Al grain boundaries; meanwhile some of them exist within Al grains. The reaction mechanism of carbon nanotubes-Al is discussed.
