Corrosion and tribocorrosion behaviour of Al–Si–Cu–Mg alloy and its composites reinforced with B4C particles in 0.05M NaCl solution

Synergism between corrosion and wear on CoCrMo−Al2O3 biocomposites in a physiological solution

“…If the oxidized wear debris are compacted on the surface, they may act as a protective layer. As contrary, if they are not compacted, they may act as third body particles that can lead to more damage on the surface [24,33,40]. Thus, the larger oscillations on the evolution of OCP for the unreinforced alloy may be attributed to the repeated compaction removing of the wear debris during sliding (Fig.…”

“…The literature on the tribocorrosion behavior of MMCs, on the other hand, is very limited as compared to the ones on the individual wear and corrosion studies. Studies showed that reinforcing metallic materials by hard ceramic particles can also improve the tribocorrosion behavior by the load carrying role of the reinforcement particles resulting in less wear and corrosion damage on the matrix metal [23][24][25]. However, if the matrix/reinforcement bonding is weak, and the reinforcing particles are not strong enough to withstand the loads, reinforcing particles may be detached or fragmented under the sliding which may result even worse wear behavior as compared to the unreinforced alloy due to the third body effect of the particles [26].…”

Aluminium reinforced by WC and TiC nanoparticles (ex-situ) and aluminide particles (in-situ): Microstructure, wear and corrosion behaviour

“…The positive effect of zircon (ZrSiO 4 ) particulates on the corrosion resistance of Al6061 (HCl of different concentrations) and Al7075 (seawater) has been reported by Jameel et al [46] and Nagaswarupa et al [47], respectively. Toptan et al [48] noted that (15)(16)(17)(18)(19) vol% addition of B 4 C particles did not significantly affect the tendency for corrosion of an Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloy in 0.05 M NaCl; however, it decreased the corrosion tendency and corrosion rate during sliding wear testing in 0.05 M NaCl.…”

Wear and Corrosion Behavior of Al–Si Matrix Composite Reinforced with Alumina

“…Corrosion current density has been shown to increase or decrease or remain unaffected in the presence of reinforcements. In addition, reinforcements have been shown to increase or decrease or not to affect the open circuit potential (OCP) [15]. The effect of heat treatment has been found to be the very important parameter in determining the corrosion behavior of aluminum alloy composites.…”
