Abstract:
In the present study new light weight nanocmposites [Mg-MWCNT & AZ31-MWCNT] based on magnesium alloy are This paper discus with manufacturing of Mg-MWCNT & AZ31-MWCNT based nanocomposites by Stir casting route. MWCNTs with variable percentage of 0.33 wt%, 0.66 wt%, and 0.99 wt % into Mg alloy AZ31 matrix. The effects of varying percentages of MWCNTs on Mg-MWCNT & AZ31-MWCNT are studied by using mechanical properties such as density, porosity, hardness. The characterization reveals gives the better mechanical properties for AZ31-0.99 wt% MWCNT amongst all composites. The reason behind the increase is due to proper mixing of MWCNT into Mg alloy matrix. The density and hardness measurements show that lighter nanocomposites can be produced with the incorporation of MWCNT into Mg & AZ31 alloy with higher strength.
