In recent years, graphene has attracted considerable research interest in all fields of science due to its unique properties. Its excellent mechanical properties lead it to be used in nano-composites for strength enhancement. This paper reports an Aluminum-Graphene Nanoplatelets (Al/GNPs) composite using a semi-powder method followed by hot extrusion. The effect of GNP nano-particle integration on tensile, compressive and hardness response of Al is investigated in this paper. It is demonstrated that 0.3 wt% Graphene Nanoplatelets distributed homogeneously in the matrix aluminum act as an effective reinforcing filler to prevent deformation. Compared to monolithic aluminum (in tension), Al-0.3 wt% GNPs composite exhibited higher 0.2% yield strength (+ 14.7%), ultimate tensile strength (+ 11.1%) and lower failure strain (-40.6%). Surprisingly, compared to monolithic Al (in compression), Al-0.3 wt% GNPs composite exhibited same 0.2% compressive yield strength and lower ultimate compression strength (-7.8%), and lower failure strain (-20.2%). The Al-0.3 wt% GNPs composite exhibited higher Vickers hardness compared to monolithic aluminum (+ 11.8%). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to investigate the surface morphology, elemental percentage composition, and phase analysis, respectively.
