Popis: Chemical oxidation and electroless deposition nickel coating of MWCNT (Multi-walled carbon nanotubes) have been carried out to improve the distribution and the wettability of MWCNT in the aluminum foam. MWCNT reinforced AlMg4Si8 foam (AMFC-aluminum matrix foam composite) were produced by powder metallurgy. The effects of chemical oxidation and nickel coating on MWCNT in the dispersion of MWCNT in the aluminum foam were confirmed by scanning electron microscopic analysis. Observation of the distribution of the MWCNT in the aluminum foam matrix showed that the technique is effective in dispersing and increase the wettability of the MWCNT coated nickel within the aluminum foam matrix.
