Mixtures consisting of99% pure Al powder and a massfraction of2% MWCNTswere sonicated. Then,hori鄄 zontal ball milling wasused to generate mechanical bonding between the Al particles and the MWCNTs. The structure observedby a field鄄emission scanning electron microscoperevealed an attachment of MWCNTstothe surface of the Al鄄 flakes. FESEM results showed that particle size and morphology varied with milling time. Finally,the composite pow鄄 derswere processed intobulk material by compaction and sintering. The macro鄄hardness confirmed the improvement in the mechanical properties due to the addition of MWCNTsto the Al matrix.
