Abstract:

The interest in Multiwall Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) as reinforcement for Aluminium alloy has been growing considerably because of its significant properties such as high Strength, elastic modulus, flexibility and high aspect ratios which makes the combination for being used in aerospace, automobile and marine applications. This work mainly focuses on the theoretical analysis of Strength and Young’s modulus of MWCNT addition with Aluminium 5083 metal matrix composite for different compositions like 1, 1.25, 1.5 and 1.75 weight %, representing that the MWCNT are effective reinforcement. The predicted value shows that, the addition of MWCNT is increasing the Young’s modulus and Strength for the composite compared to the AA5083 (Aluminium alloy).
