Abstract

The Laser Flash technique was employed to study the thermal diffusivity of Ti6Al4V (Ti64) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)-reinforced Ti64 nanocomposites with varying weight percents of graphitized MWCNTs between 50 and 300 °C testing temperature boundaries. Generally, the addition of MWCNTs to Ti64 improved the thermal diffusivity characteristics of the developed nanocomposites over that of the unreinforced alloy. Comparatively, the 2 wt.% MWCNTs nanocomposites sintered at 1000 °C exhibited the best thermal diffusivity performance, offering values of 2.71 and 3.48 mm²/s, respectively, at 50 °C and 300 °C, as against 1.92 and 2.65 mm²/s recorded, respectively, for the unreinforced Ti6Al4V alloy samples also sintered and tested at the same temperatures as the nanocomposites. The predicted thermal conductivity responses of the developed nanocomposites as affected by the measured thermal diffusivities are also discussed, hoping to open new grounds for fuselage and wing box structural applications.
