Abstract
In order to achieve combined mechanical and electrical properties, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) reinforced Cu/Ti3SiC2/C nanocomposites were further processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT). The maximum microhardness values of central and edge from the composites with 1 wt.% MWCNTs reached HV 130.0 and HV 363.5, which were 43.9% and 39.5% higher than those of the original samples, respectively. With the same content of MWCNTs, its electrical conductivity achieved 3.42×107 S/m, which was increased by 78.1% compared with that of original samples. The synergistic improvement of mechanical and electrical properties is attributed to the obtained microstructure with increased homogenization and refinement, as well as improved interfacial bonding and reduced porosity. The strengthening mechanisms include dispersion and refinement strengthening for mechanical properties, as well as reduced electron scattering for electrical properties.
期刊介绍:
The Transactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China (Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China), founded in 1991 and sponsored by The Nonferrous Metals Society of China, is published monthly now and mainly contains reports of original research which reflect the new progresses in the field of nonferrous metals science and technology, including mineral processing, extraction metallurgy, metallic materials and heat treatments, metal working, physical metallurgy, powder metallurgy, with the emphasis on fundamental science. It is the unique preeminent publication in English for scientists, engineers, under/post-graduates on the field of nonferrous metals industry. This journal is covered by many famous abstract/index systems and databases such as SCI Expanded, Ei Compendex Plus, INSPEC, CA, METADEX, AJ and JICST.
