Investigation on the Strengthening Mechanisms of Nickel Matrix Nanocomposites

The strengthening effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in metal matrix nanocomposites occurs due to several mechanisms that act simultaneously. The possible strengthening mechanisms for metal matrix nanocomposites reinforced with CNTs consist of: (1) load transfer, (2) grain refinement and texture stre...
