In this study, we prepared composites between Al and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) using the friction stir welding (FSW) method and investigated their microstructural evolution and mechanical properties by controlling the amount of MWCNT (1 and 3 vol%) and the plunging load (400 and 600 kg) used. After the FSW process, MWCNT showed slight coarsening of grain with random shear textures and accumulated dislocations; the differences obtained by varying the plunging load and MWCNT amount were insignificant. The friction-stir welded composite obtained using 3 vol% MWCNT and a plunging load of 600 kg possessed two-times better balance between strength and ductility than the base metal, due to the presence of both MWCNTs and the partially decomposed Al4C3 in the composite.
