Abstract

The present study focuses on the corrosion behaviour of Al 2024 in the presence of silicon carbide, graphite, and their formulations. Hybrid metal matrix composites have been produced using the stir casting method. The influence of combinations of SiC and Graphite volume % on Al 2024 was also tested for corrosion properties. Potentiodynamic polarisation techniques were used to study the corrosion behaviour of the specimens because these methods have a high level of quality and dependability. Finally, corrosion samples were examined and analysed using a scanning electron microscope.
