Investigation of the influence of SiC content and particle size variation on the corrosion resistance of Al-SiC matrix composite in neutral chloride solution
The effect of SiC content in 1070 aluminum at 10%, 15%, and 20% SiC contents in 1.75% neutral chloride solution was studied by potentiodynamic polarization and open circuit potential measurement. Results showed the aluminum composite at 10% SiC displayed the lowest corrosion rate. Increase in SiC content coupled with the electrochemical action of chloride anions increased the occurrence of...
