Effect of solidification on microstructures and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes reinforced magnesium matrix composite
Highlights The solidification rates significantly affect the CNTs distribution. Uniform CNTs distribution was achieved in the composites. The tensile properties of the composites follow the Kelly–Tyson formula well.
Abstract A novel approach was successfully developed to fabricate bulk carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced Mg matrix composites. The distribution of CNTs in the composites depends on the solidification rate. When the solidification rate was low, CNTs were pushed ahead of the solidification front and will cluster along grain boundaries. When the solidification rate was high, CNTs were captured by the solidification front, so the CNTs remained inside the grain. Moreover, good interfacial bonding was achieved in the composite under high solidification rate. Meanwhile, compared with the matrix alloy, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield strength (YS) of the composite were significantly improved. The mechanical properties of the composite under higher solidification rate are better than composite under low solidification rate and the alloy. Moreover, most CNTs on the fracture surfaces were directly pulled out from the matrix. The Kelly–Tyson formula agreed well with the experimental tensile value in the composite under higher solidification rate, and the load-transfer efficiency is almost equal to 1.
