Abstract

Abstract: Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) have novel attributes that make them an appropriate strengthening operator in Aluminum (Al) Metal Matrix framework. Strengthening with CNT prompts increment in quality without significant increment in weight. The mechanical and thermal property upgrades accomplished by expansion of CNT in Aluminum metal lattice frameworks. Hence this paper reviews the effect of concentration of CNT on stress strain curve behavior, elastic modulus, hardness, co-efficient of thermal expansion (CTE), creep & damping characteristics of Al – CNT composites.
