Abstract

In the present study, the corrosion behaviour of the Al2219, Boron carbide and Graphite has been investigated. The Aluminium Metal Matrix Hybrid Composites were fabricated by two step stir casting technique. Corrosion tests were carried out with the natural sea water (3.5 wt % NaCl) according to standard procedure. The tests were conducted at room temperature by cyclic polarization technique for a definite time interval. After the test, material loss was calculated by weight loss method. The surface morphology of the specimen before and after corrosion was studied using the optical microscope images. The test result reviles that, the corrosion rate of the composite was greater than the base alloy, but the corrosion of the hybrid composite is the most compared to the alloy and monolithic composite.
