Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely investigated as a reinforcement material to improve the mechanical, electrical and thermal properties of composite materials. Various routes have been employed to fabricate aluminum-carbon nanotube (Al-CNT) composites in the past few years. However, uniform distribution of CNTs in the metal matrix is still challenging. In this paper, a novel semi-solid powder processing (SPP) was used to incorporate CNT uniformly into the Al6061-CNT composite. Al6061-CNT powders mechanically alloyed for different durations were also examined to understand how the CNTs were dispersed in the Al6061 powders. As-received CNT cluster balls were crushed into dense thin CNT layers during mechanical alloying. As mechanical alloying time increased, CNTs were dispersed in the Al6061 particles. Well-densified microstructures with severely deformed grains were observed in the Al6061-CNT composite.

The heat penetration depth of mould for Semi-solid net-shape forming affects not only the life of moulds, but also the quality of products. By integral approximate solution of temperature field and analyses of solidification process, a theoretical model of heat penetration depth for semi-solid net-shape forming mould was obtained, and in this model the influence factors such as product material thermal properties, mould material thermal properties and solidification time are given much consideration. Studies show that the heat penetration depth increases exponentially with interface thermal resistance and time respectively, and increase as a cubic curve with pouring temperature and preheating temperature.

Hybrid material structures allow different material properties to be combined in one single component and thus to meet high functional requirements. When manufacturing such hybrid components, particular attention must be paid to the transition zones between metallic composite partners. These transition zones need to show largely homogeneous and materially bonded structures in order to ensure ideal transmission of the material properties and to prevent component failure due to material defects. In this respect, this paper focuses on a newly developed process in which a powder metallurgical route is combined with semi-solid forming technology. Here, porous copper green bodies are inserted into a forming die and subsequently forged together with a semi-solid aluminium alloy. In this way, it was tried to combine both metal materials into a material locking or at least into a form locking manner in order to achieve ideal material properties in the final hybrid component. The aim of this paper is to find suitable process parameters to infiltrate the porous copper inlay with the semi-solid aluminium alloy during thixoforming. Therefore, different process parameters such as varying liquid fraction of the aluminium alloy and different densities of the green bodies were examined during the production of simply shaped hybrid Al-Cu-components. Afterwards the infiltration depth and produced microstructure of the components was analysed. In the future, this process allows for producing aluminium-copper hybrid heat sinks with improved heat transfer properties compared to conventional produced heat sinks.
