The Al-CNTs(Cu)-CuO composites were prepared by rapid hot-press sintering method using pure aluminum powder,CuO powder and Cu-coated encapsulated CNTs as raw materials,and the effects of different mass fractions of CuO on the characteristics of the in situ precipitates as well as the mechanical and wear properties of the reinforced aluminum matrix composites were investigated.The results show that with the increase of CuO content in the aluminum matrix composites,the in situ precipitation of Al2Cu and Al2O3 in the Cu coated CNTs reinforced aluminum matrix composites is significantly promoted,which not only makes the aluminum matrix composites have higher strength-toughness match,but also reduces the wear rate and improves the wear-resistant properties of the composites.The synergistic reinforcement of Cu coated CNTs and in situ formed nano reinforcements can effectively improve the service performance of aluminum matrix composites,which makes them have a broad application prospect in the fields of aerospace and rail transportation.
