Metallic matrix composite materials (MMCs) reinforced with ceramic materials have been widely studied in the last decades due to their high mechanical properties. Different researches have investigated and reported the fabrication of lightweight metallic composites reinforced with micro and Nano-reinforcement to get an excellent strength-weight relation, which is attractive for structural applications in engineering. Several investigations tried to synthesize metallic composites reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for structural and functional applications because of their exceptional mechanical, physics and chemical properties. This study employs a "sandwich" technique recently developed for metallic matrix composites fabrication with high mechanical specifications. Tribological behavior for possible use in extern implants of this metal matrix composites is also studied to obtain lightweight-reinforced metallic materials with high mechanical and tribological properties for user's comfortability, i. e, lighter materials than those most commonly used such as Aluminum and Titanium. The present study identifies the tribological behavior for Magnesium AZ31B composite material reinforced with carbon nanotubes in continuous and cyclic contact systems against non-reinforced metallic matrix to determine an average friction coefficient and the wear mechanisms over the metal matrix composite to metal interaction.
