    The document summarizes research on fabricating and characterizing an aluminum matrix composite reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using friction stir processing (FSP). CNTs were filled into grooves in an aluminum alloy and FSP was used to disperse the CNTs uniformly. Microhardness and tensile tests found the FSP composite showed a 47.3% increase in hardness and 32.4% increase in ultimate tensile strength over the base material. Electron microscopy revealed details of the composite microstructure formed through FSP. The study examines FSP for producing metal matrix composites reinforced with sub-micron particles like CNTs.

    Abstract
    Aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) are among the advanced materials that are employed in numerous industrial applications.
    AMCs have good stiffness and strength. They have low weight that makes them valuably handy for improving fuel efficiency and
    economy in the structures made from them. The friction stir processing (FSP) is a novel technique which is highly advantageous
    for producing composites, which are reinforced with particles that are sub-micron in size particularly in light weight metal matrix
    composites (MMCs). Current study is done to examine the potential of AA6061-based surface nanocomposites by reinforcing it
    with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (as-received and purified) employing FSP. Fabrication of the composites is carried out by filling
    CNTs into the grooves of different sizes and friction stir processed (FSPd). Various parameters are investigated to attain best
    mechanical properties and dispersion of CNTs in the matrix. Metallography is used to reveal the material flow and grain size
    variation in the zones formed by the FSP. Micro hardness and tensile tests are conducted to evaluate the mechanical properties and
    an increase of 47.3% hardness and an increase of 32.4% ultimate tensile strength (UTS) are observed from the base FSPd
    material. Electron microscopic techniques are also employed to reveal the microstructural details.
