Abstract

Cast aluminium A356 is most widely used in automobiles, marine and aircraft structures. The metal matrix composite was prepared by varying the weight percentage of reinforced boron carbide particle with A356 alloy by stir casting technique. The corrosion behavior of the composite was studied by salt spray test and the corrosion rate was evaluated by calculating the weight loss in the material. It is observed that A356-B4C composite exhibited excellent corrosion when immersed in 5% NaCl solution. The SEM image of the composite also shows that the particle gets corroded surrounding the reinforced particle.
