Abstract:The effect of maize husk (MH) particulates on the corrosion resistance of 1070 aluminium alloy (AA70) matrix at 5% and 15% wt. content, and 150 µm and 300 µm particle size (AA70/MH composites) was studied in 3.5% NaCl, 0.0125 M H2SO4 and 3.5% NaCl/0.0125 M H2SO4 solutions. Potentiodynamic polarization technique, open circuit potential measurement, weight loss analysis, optical microscopy characterization, x-ray fluorescence and x-ray diffractometry were used for the investigation. Results show increase in MH %… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
