Abstract
A range of aluminium alloys and particulate reinforced aluminium metal matrix composites has been tested in an apparatus which simulates the erosive-corrosive action of a slurry. The slurry used in the investigation is composed of synthetic mine water and silica sand. The corrosion component of the mass loss was found to be an important synergistic factor. The addition of ceramic reinforcement particles to the matrix alloys has a detrimental effect on the slurry erosion resistance.
