Synthesis of Al-Al 2 O 3 -CNF Composite by Cold Spray Method: Powder Preparation and Synthesized Objects Characterization.

This paper is devoted to studying the composite material of the aluminum-alumina-carbon nanofiber (CNF) system. The paper considers in detail the process of preparation of the specified composite by ball milling, as well as the process of synthesis of a solid object (coating) by the cold spray method. The synthesized objects were studied using optical and electron microscopy, and the hardness of objects of various compositions was measured. The processes of interaction of composite particles are discussed in detail. The influence of CNF on the distribution of particles in a solid object and on the hardness of objects has been considered and discussed.
