▎ 摘　　要

The present work deals with surface alteration of aluminium Al-1100 alloy through solid-state processing where carbonaceous materials (CNT, Graphene and Graphite) of different sizes are infused onto the surface to form composites. The processing technique comprises of heating arising from electrical resistance leading to local softening of the surface followed by hot pressing, embedding the carbonaceous material onto the aluminium substrate. The consequence of this particle embedding on aluminium properties (mechanical and tribological) is evaluated and a detailed comparative study is carried out. The presence of nanosized carbonaceous materials improves the mechanical property of aluminium >250%. The tribological study suggests that the volume wear loss with CNTs and graphene are much less as compared to graphite particles. An in-depth microstructural analysis, x-ray and Raman spectroscopy studies were performed which supports the tribological results.
