Influence of mechanical activation mode on morphology and phase composition of Al-2Mg-nC nanostructured composite material

Abstract

This article discusses peculiar features of formation of the structure and phase composition of powdered nanostructured aluminum matrix composite materials reinforced by graphene-like structures obtained by combined mechanical activation. The morphology of the powders has been studied and a neural network model has been developed which describes the dynamics of crystallite disintegration upon mechanical activation as a function of processing time and concentration of carbon nanostructures.
