Corrosion Behavior of Alumina Particulate / (AA6061) Aluminum
Metal Matrix Composite In Marine Environment |
In the
present investigation, the static electrochemical corrosion
behaviour of (AA6061) Al/Al2O3 composites in Marine (3.5% NaCl)
Environment solution was evaluated. The composites were
fabricated using liquid metallurgy.
The effect of weight percentage (3%, 6%, 9% & 12%) on the
corrosion behaviour of composites was investigated. The
corrosion rates of composites were calculated using
electrochemical method. The results
showed that Al/Al2O3 composites have lower corrosion resistance
than (AA6061) Aluminium. The corrosion
rate was increased by increasing of weight percentage of the
alumina particles. Optical microscope were
carried out to identify the corroded surface. |
