Evaluation of mechanical properties of CNT and Eglass fiber reinforced aluminium metal matrix composites

Abstract: In contrast with most metallic materials, copper alloy has many remarkable properties, such as its excellent electrical and thermal conductivities, good strength, and formability, having outstanding resistance to corrosion and fatigue, and others. Due to their excellent properties, copper alloy is widely used in electrical, automotive, architecture, petrochemicals, transportation, and marine industry. The Main objective of this work is to develop Carbon Nano tubes and E-Glass Fibre reinforced Aluminium Al-7075 Hybrid Metal Matrix Composite (AHMMC) and to evaluate the mechanical properties of these hybrid composites developed. The different types of Hybrid Composites are fabricated with varying composition of Carbon Nano Tubes and E Glass Fibre and the specimens are prepared as per ASTM Standards and experiments are conducted for characterization of mechanical properties like Tension, Compression, and Hardness.
