Corrosion Characteristics of Metal Matrix Composites

Abstract

To tackle significant challenges posed by industries and environment with respect to materials degradation, we need to have a clear understanding of the impact of corrosion in different components. Composites are designed for a specialized application using different material combinations. This article presents an overview on different corrosion characteristics of metal matrix composites. Several types of corrosion have been addressed along with different corrosion methodologies. Corrosion of aluminum MMCs, magnesium MMCs, etc., have been discussed, along with different processing related problems. Different aspects involved in determining the corrosion behavior of metal matrix composites have been addressed. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
