The combination of CNT-Silver nanocomposite coatings are showed that significant improvements are demonstrated in the mechanical properties, phase and structural analyses, and surface images of CNT-Silver nanocomposite coatings. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have emerged as a novel material because of their unique properties such as being 10 to 100 times stronger than steel, high strength to weight ratio, elastic moduli as high as 1 TPa and electrical current carrying capacity 1000 times that of pure copper, and high thermal conductivity [1]. CNT reinforcement silver nanocomposites have increased value of hardness than pure silver coatings and improved the resistance of wear [2- 4]. The hardness values and surface roughness of the composite coatings are gradually increased with addition of carbon nanotubes content. Carbon nanotubes (CNT) reinforcement silver nanocomposite coatings have been obtained on copper with electrodeposition method. Effect of amount of MWCNT on microstructure and mechanical performance was investigated. Produced composite structure were investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Mechanical properties were detected with Vickers microhardness test method. Highest mechanical properties were achieved with 1 g/l MWCNT.
