Abstract
Aluminum-matrix composite materials reinforced with carbon nanostructures were prepared by hot pressing of the powders produced by mechanical activation of aluminum and a carbon nanostructure. C60 fullerenes, multiwalled carbon nanotubes, onion-like carbon (OLC), and flake graphite were used as the reinforcing phase. The structures and the mechanical and tribological properties of the composite materials are investigated. It is shown that introduction of carbon nanostructures into the Al matrix is an effective way to improve the physicomechanical and tribological properties of Al-matrix composite materials.
