Abstract

In this study, Bi alloy AA1100/TiO2/AA5083 composites were produced by accumulative press bonding (APB) for the first time. In the first step, two bars of aluminum alloys 1100 and 5083 with 5[Formula: see text]wt.% of uniformly scattered TiO2 particles were stacked together and pressed with a 50% reduction ratio. Then, this process was continued up to six steps. Corrosion properties of composites were studied by potential dynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement in 3.5[Formula: see text]wt.% NaCl solution. So, in this investigation and as its novelty, a considerable improvement was revealed in the main electrochemical parameters as a result of enhancing the influence of APB steps and the inert character of the particles. Moreover, using the wear test, the wear resistance of these bi alloy composites has been studied vs the APB steps. Also, the wear and electrochemical experiments showed that corrosion and wear resistance of samples were improved by the APB steps by 70% and 34%, respectively.
