Abstract


In this investigation, an strive has been made to broadenAl 8088reinforced with silicon carbide particulatenanocompositethrough liquid melt metallurgy method and to look at corrosion conduct.nanocomposite containing 2, 4 and 6 percent of SiC are preparedconsistent with ASTM requirements. Weight loss approach is carried out in 0.025N, 0.05N and 0.1N answers of KOH. The corrosion price decreases with boomin thepublicity time for all the specimens and decreases with the boom in reinforcement content material of thenanocomposites. Sincenanocomposites undergo much less corrosion compared to base alloy, which can be used for the manufacture of equipmentused in marine environment.
