Abstract

The objective of the work is to predict the Corrosion behavior of AA2014 reinforced with SiC with different percent of reinforcement. Effects of the weight fraction of SiC particulates on the corrosion behavior of Al/SiC Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) were studied. The results revealed that the Al/SiC MMCs exhibited higher density than pure Al matrix. The static immersion corrosion tests of Al/SiC MMCs in 3.5 wt.% NaCl aqueous solution at exposure time 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours was carried out. Results showed that the Al/15% SiC MMCs have better corrosion resistance than the pure Al matrix. Increasing the weight fraction of the SiC particulates reduces the corrosion rate of the Al/SiC MMCs.

Keywords
