The aim of the current paper is to study the hardness behaviour of carbon nanotube reinforced aluminium (CNT-Al) nano composite material under nanoindentation and Vickers micro hardness techniques. The four different types of nano-composites with 1, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 wt% CNT indented by diamond Berko...
