Abstract
The fracture behaviors of spark plasma sintered multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) reinforced Ti6Al4V composites containing 1, 2 and 3 wt % MWCNT respectively were investigated. Fracture modes in the composites were found to be dependent on the extent of dispersion of MWCNT in the matrix alloy and the integrity of the interfacial bonding between the matrix and the reinforcement. The characteristic fine dimpled fracture morphology of Ti6Al4V increased with 1 wt % MWCNT addition but gradually faded away with higher weight fractions of the reinforcement suggesting only minimal MWCNT addition in Ti6Al4V is beneficial for enhancing the fracture characteristics of the alloy.
