| Abstract Scope |
High-performance components are always highly demanded for modern aerospace applications. Developing metal matrix composites reinforced with nanomaterials is an effective strategy to enhance the properties of such functional components. Among the various reinforcements, 1D nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted much attention due to their exceptional mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Meanwhile, Additive manufacturing (AM) offers innovative manufacturing techniques that can be used to construct complex and intricate structural components. Integrating advanced material development and AM techniques has drawn significant attention as it overcomes the limitations and challenges of conventional fabrication approaches. This research focuses on the development of CNTs reinforced nickel-based alloys using laser powder bed fusion. The result showed significant improvements in the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and elastic modulus of the 3D printed specimens when 2.5vol% CNTs were incorporated, demonstrating the remarkable impact of CNTs on enhancing the performance of the metal-based alloys. |
