Abstract
The Al-Mg alloy structure reinforced with carbon nanotubes was evaluated after the composites production through a modified flake metallurgy technique followed by hot extrusion. The obtained bimodal microstructure of the matrix allowed to identify the microstructural mechanisms leading to high strength; uniform elongation and strain hardening ability of the produced composites. The presence of Mg transformed the native Al2O3 layer into spinel MgAl2O4 nano-phases dispersed both inside CG and UFGs and on the interfaces, improving the interfacial bonding of Al-Al as well as Al-CNT. The effect of the reinforcing phases percentages on the dislocations mechanisms evolution was evaluated through stress relaxation tests leading to the underlying of the effect of reinforcing phases on the modification of the interphase influence zone
