Abstract

AMCs due to good thermal and tribological properties, they are applied as the material for: pistons in modern combustion engines, drive shafts, shock absorber cylinders and brake nodes. Heavy-duty operation, especially under tribological conditions, frequently in corrosive environment, requires knowledge on their corrosion resistance. This paper presents the initial results of the research on susceptibility of aluminium alloy matrix composite material reinforced by SiC particles and mixture of SiC+C particles to corrosion. The purpose of the research was to determine the influence of reinforcing phases, their type and shape on corrosion behaviour in a typical corrosion environment, with low NaCl concentration, in relation to the matrix alloy. Determination of corrosion resistance of Al/SiC+C hybrid composite is a new issue and falls within the field of interest of the authors of this article.
