Corrosion behavior of Al–60 vol.% SiCp composites in NaCl solution

Effect of Copper and Silicon Carbide Content on the Corrosion Resistance of Al-Mg Alloys in Acidic and Alkaline Solutions

“…Specific quantities of silicon carbide powder with an average particle size of 75μm and purity exceeds 99.5% of 5 and 10 vol.% were added to the matrix alloy. Magnesium ingots (~99% purity) was added in small quantities (fixed weight percentage 4wt.%) to promote wettability between metal matrix and reinforcement particles [2,10].…”

“…7-9]. Candan and Bilgic [10][11][12] are among other researchers who studied pitting corrosion of Al-based composites in different corrosive media. Their studies not only prove that Al-SiC composites are good corrosion resistance materials, but also show that intermetallics resulted from the reaction between Al and SiC particle has a beneficial effect on corrosion resistance of the composites due to interruption of the continuity of the metal matrix [12].…”

Aluminum Alloys for Al/SiC Composites

“…In a study using Al-4 Mg alloy matrix, Candan and Bilgic investigated the corrosion behavior of Al-60 vol.%/SiC in NaCl solution. Experimental results revealed that precipitation of Mg 2 Si as a result of the reaction between the Al-Mg alloy and the SiC particles has a beneficial effect on corrosion resistance of Al-4Mg alloy matrix due to the interruption of the continuity of the matrix channels within the pressure infiltrated composite (Candan & Bilgic, 2004). Hihara and Latanison, studied the galvanic corrosion of aluminum matrix composites using ultrapure Al and 6061-T6 electrodes to study the galvanic corrosion current density (CD) of Al-matrix composites.…”

Effect of fly ash reinforcement on the corrosion behaviour of cast Al-Mg alloy A535 in 3.5 wt% NaC1 solution

“…The corrosion behaviour of Al-based MMCs reinforced with particles such as Al 2 O 3 , garnet, TiC, AlN and SiC particles have been studied by several workers [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. A close look at the results obtained from these studies shows that three types of corrosion can occur in particulate Al MMCs at room temperature.…”
