Patent ID: 7987894

Claim:
A method of fabricating a magnesium-based carbon nanotube composite material, the method comprising: providing magnesium containing particles and carbon nanotubes, a thixomolding machine and a feeding device; mixing the magnesium containing particles and the carbon nanotubes outside the thixomolding machine by the feeding device; forming a mixture of the magnesium containing particles and the carbon nanotubes outside the thixomolding machine, wherein the magnesium containing particles are all solid particles when mixing with the carbon nanotubes; supplying the mixture into the thixomolding machine after the steps of mixing the magnesium containing particles and the carbon nanotubes by the feeding device and forming the mixture of the magnesium containing particles and the carbon nanotubes; heating the mixture to form a semi-solid-state paste; and cooling the semi-solid-state paste.
