Corrosion of Aluminium and Zinc-Aluminium Alloys Based Metal-Matrix Composites
Journal Title: Tribology in Industry - Year 2009, Vol 31, Issue 3
Abstract
Corrosion behaviour of metal-matrix composites (MMCs) with aluminium and zincaluminium alloy substrate was discussed. MMCs corrosion forms and parameters affecting MMCs corrosion were described as well as corrosion testing methods. The corrosion characteristics of MMCs with zinc-aluminium alloy ZA-27 matrix reinforced by graphite particles, glass fibres and zircon particles were presented.
