Abstract

In order to exploit the excellent properties, nano-particles can be used as reinforcement in the matrix of a metal. This chapter utilizes reinforcement of nano-particles through the innovative microwave processing technology for the fabrication of copper-crystalline carbon composites. In order to understand the friction and wear properties of microwave-sintered copper-CNT and copper-Nano Graphite (NG) composites, pin-on-disc wear experiments were carried out. High surface area of nano-graphite particles embedded in copper matrix exhibited high adherent carbonaceous tribo-layer at the contact surface. Copper-CNT and copper-nano graphite composites exhibited comparable tribological properties.
