EBSD characterization of Al7075/graphene nanoplates/carbon nanotubes composites processed through post-deformation annealing

The effects of the post-deformation annealing on the microstructural evolution of hot rolled Al7075 matrix composites reinforced with CNTs and GNPs were investigated. The multi-pass hot rolling was applied on the stir cast samples. Annealing was then applied to the composites at 450 °C for 4 h. Microstructural evolution was examined by SEM,...
