High elongation aluminum matrix composites reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were prepared by flake powder metallurgy, and densified by hot extrusion with a high extrusion ratio. After hot extrusion, fine and equiaxed grains were obtained in 2 wt% CNT/Al composite, and interfacial product (Al4C3) as well as bridge-connected CNTs aligned along the extrusion direction were found both in 1 wt% CNT/Al and 2 wt% CNT/Al composites. Both composites obtained high elongation while their strength was enhanced. Especially the elongation of 2 wt% CNT/Al composite is comparable to that of pure Al prepared by the same method, which reached about 30%. The good ductility mainly attributes to firm interfacial combination between CNTs and matrix, fine and equiaxed grains formed by dynamic recrystallization during hot extrusion, and bridge-connected CNTs aligned along the extrusion direction.
