Abstract

The operational properties of aluminum-based composites reinforced by carbon nanostructures were considered. It was determined that increasing of carbon content in the sample leads to reduction of the coefficient of friction. The determining factor affecting the wear resistance is the thermal conductivity of the material.

Keywords: metal matrix composite; aluminum; carbon nanofibers; thermal conductivity; wear.
