The possible strengthening mechanisms for metal matrix nanocomposites reinforced with CNTs consist of: (1) load transfer, (2) grain refinement and texture strengthening, (3) second phase strengthening, and (4) strain hardening. The main focus of this work is to identify the strengthening mechanisms that play a role in the case of the Ni-CNT nanocomposite produced by powder metallurgy. For the dispersion and mixing of the metallic powders with CNTs, two different routes were performed by ultrasonication and ball milling. The results indicated that four different strengthening mechanisms are present in the nanocomposites and had a different contribution to the final mechanical properties. The load transfer and the increase in dislocation density seem to strongly affect the properties and microstructure of the nanocomposite. The grain refinement and the presence of second phase particles have a small contribution in the strengthening of this nanocomposite, since the introduction of CNTs in the Ni matrix slightly affects the size and orientation of the grains in the matrix and a few nanometric particles of Ni3C were identified. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/105279 | ISSN: | 2079-4991 | DOI: | 10.3390/nano11061426 | Rights: | openAccess |
