A review of Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Aluminium Composite and Functionally Graded composites as a Future material for Aerospace
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Material selection is a very critical issue when it comes to aerospace engineering. Materials should have good qualities like light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance with economic viability. Over the period, Aluminium blends of composite are used for variety of applications. Carbon Nanotube reinforced Aluminium composites and Functionally graded composites(FGC ) are the new developments in materials engineering. Gradual but continuous variation in composition and structure over volume, results in corresponding changes in the properties of material in contrast to homogeneous mixing of CNT in case of composite. FGM promises to be more suitable in the future. This paper focuses on brief review of CNT reinforced Aluminium composite and FGM application in aerospace.
