The effect of the premixing procedure on the homogeneous dispersion of carbon fiber (CF) and nano hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) reinforcements in AA7050 matrix is studied in this work. Before composites are prepared, a multi-stage process for premixing is used, which consists of ultra-sonication, magnetic stirring, and mechanical mixing in order to minimize particle clustering. This also improves the wetting between the reinforcement and the matrix. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) was used to characterize the premixed powders to assess agglomeration behaviour, interfacial integrity, and dispersion uniformity. Due to the premixing process, better densification of nearly 95.2% and enhancement of 33.3% of micro-hardness are reported for 0.25 wt.% CF and 0.5 wt.% hBN addition. The results reveal that after the premixing process, particle dispersion was improved, leading to high-quality composites in the subsequent sintering process. The premixing process offers a better way to disperse the nano reinforcement particles in the production of aluminium metal matrix nanocomposites, which directly influences the properties of the composites.
