  1. Republic of Iraq Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research University of Technology Production and Metallurgy engineering Baghdad-Iraq “Carbon nanotubes reinforced aluminum nanocomposite via plasma spray forming” Mustafa K.

  2. Introduction The unique properties of carbon nanotubes can be exploited in metal-matrix composite (MMCs), because their exceptional resilience, carbon nanotubes might be practically desirable as reinforcement for (MMCs). Why Al-Si composites? high strength, high stiffness, wear and corrosion resistance. Aerospace, automobile, electronic industries, defense. • Aluminum matrix composite reinforced by CNTs. • Thermal spray • EPD. • Other cold processes (supersonic spray).

  3. Aim of this Work • Preparation of nanocomposite coating layer, and investigate of their mechanical and physical properties.

  4. Proposed Research 1- Synthesis CNTs • Arc-discharge Vaporization of carbon between two graphite electrodes, at pressure of Helium or/and Argon ~500 Torr, current supply between small gap 50-200 A, at ~20V. • CVD 2- Purification process Nanotubes are contaminated with catalyst particles and support material.

  5. 3- Mixing Purified CNTs with deferent amount blended with powder of Aluminum-Silicon hypereutectic alloy. 4- composite coating a-Plasma spry Al-Si alloy with different amount of CNTs spray by Arc-plasma, on substrate of series 6000 aluminum. b- Electrophoretic deposition (EPD)

  6. 5- Examination and Tests • SEM, TEM, AFM, XRF, XRD • Nanoindentation to evaluate hardness and elastic modulus. • Bending test to evaluate bond coat strength . • Other such as; thermal conductivity.

  7. Research Problem 1-Thermal process is limited spraying of nanocomposite material because of high tendency to form clogs at plasma gun nozzle. • solution precursor plasma spray process (SPPS) to enhanced this elimination. 2- Coating of aluminum substrate is restricted to cold process, so other thermal process such as CVD are excluded.
