For nanocarbon reinforced aluminum matrix composites (AMCs), the architecture design of reinforcements is an effective route to obtain superior mechanical performances. In this work, a novel AMC reinforced by CNTs wrapped with gamma-Al2O3 (CNTs@Al2O3) reinforcement with balanced strength and toughness was fabricated by powder metallurgy methods. The wrapping structure of gamma-Al2O3 was synthesized through the in-situ reactions of Al matrix and boric acid decorated CNTs, thus improving the interface coupling of the composite. The CNTs@Al2O3/Al composite with the addition of 0.5 wt% CNTs and 10 wt% in-situ Al2O3 exhibited a mean ultimate tensile strength of 404 MPa, which is significantly higher than unreinforced pure Al (183 MPa) and those reinforced by individual CNTs (207 MPa) or Al2O3(289 MPa). An improvement of ductility was also achieved in CNTs@Al2O3/Al composites compared with theAl(2)O(3)/Al composites with the same Al2O3 content. The synergistic strengthening and toughening effects are ascribed to the ingenious in-situ CNTs@Al2O3 wrapped structure, which highlights the importance of architecture design of reinforcements in AMCs, and sheds new light on the development of CNT-reinforced AMCs.
