Orientation effects on the damage tolerance of carbon nanotube-reinforced aluminum composites
Carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced aluminum matrix composites have attracted significant attention due to their promising properties. Fracture toughness and impact toughness are essential for their use in structural applications. In this study, CNT-reinforced 2009Al alloy composites with varying CNT contents were fabricated, and their microstructure, nanoindentation and tensile properties, fracture toughness, and impact toughness were systematically characterized and compared with those of CNT-free alloy. The results reveal anisotropic structural characteristics of the composites across multiple length scales, leading to pronounced mechanical anisotropy, with properties along the extrusion direction markedly surpassing those along the transverse direction. The increase in CNT content leads to enhanced nanoindentation hardness, reduced modulus, and tensile strength, but results in a compromise in plasticity and toughness. The mechanical properties were analyzed in relation to the microstructures and microscopic fracture characteristics. This study is expected to offer insights for the structural applications and component design of CNT-reinforced aluminum matrix composites.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing is a comprehensive journal that publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies, short communications, and letters covering various aspects of composite materials science and technology. This includes fibrous and particulate reinforcements in polymeric, metallic, and ceramic matrices, as well as 'natural' composites like wood and biological materials. The journal addresses topics such as properties, design, and manufacture of reinforcing fibers and particles, novel architectures and concepts, multifunctional composites, advancements in fabrication and processing, manufacturing science, process modeling, experimental mechanics, microstructural characterization, interfaces, prediction and measurement of mechanical, physical, and chemical behavior, and performance in service. Additionally, articles on economic and commercial aspects, design, and case studies are welcomed. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review to ensure they contribute significantly and innovatively, maintaining high standards for content and presentation. The editorial team aims to expedite the review process for prompt publication.
