Powder mixture of ball-milled aluminium and functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes was compacted via spark plasma sintering (SPS) to study effects of sintering temperature and heating rate.An increase in sintering temperature led to an increase in crystallite size and density,whereas an increase in heating rate exerted the opposite effect.The crystallite size and relative density increased by 85.0％ and 14.3％,respectively,upon increasing the sintering temperature from 400 to 600 ℃,whereas increasing the heating rate from 25 to 100 ℃/min led to respective reduction by 30.0％ of crystallite size and 1.8％ of relative density.The total punch displacement during SPS for the nanocomposite sintered at 600 ℃ (1.96 mm) was much higher than that of the sample sintered at 400 ℃ (1.02 mm) confirming positive impact of high sintering temperature on densification behaviour.The maximum improvement in mechanical properties was exhibited by the nanocomposite sintered at 600 ℃ at a heating rate of 50 ℃/min displaying microhardness of 81 ± 3.6 VHN and elastic modulus of 89-5.3 GPa.The nanocomposites consolidated at 400 ℃ and 100 ℃/min,in spite of having relatively smaller crystallite size,exhibited poor mechanical properties indicating the detrimental effect of porosity on the mechanical properties.
