ABSTRACT

The Utilization of advanced technologies increased the scope of producing new materials drastically .as a result wide spectrum of nanomaterials are being produced these materials are manufactured as per the desired properties in the final material /composite. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of CNT (Carbon Nano Tubes) reinforcement into naval brass (Cu-CNT 60%, Zinc 39%, and Tin 1%) naval brass is widely applied in the marine based objects preparation because of its excellent corrosion properties and its mechanical properties are further found to be enchased by blending CNT.

Keywords: Naval brass, CNT,Nanomaterials, Mechanical, Corrosion Properties.
