Wear mechanisms map of CNT-Al nano-composite

Carbon nanotube reinforced aluminium nano-composites were produced using powder metallurgy route with different weight percent of CNT into the Al matrix. The wear behaviour of pure aluminium (Al) and carbon nanotube reinforced aluminium (CNT-Al) nano-composite with different CNT content were studi...
