Abstract
An aluminium 6061 alloy reinforced with zircon particle composite, synthesized by liquid melt metallurgy technique using Vortex method has been characterized for corrosion properties by open circuit potential method. Specimens were designed according to ASTM standards. The corrodents used for the tests were 1.00, 0.50 and 0.25 M sodium hydroxide solution. In each case the potential decreases with increase in exposure time and becomes constant due to passivation induced by aluminium for matrix and metal matrix composites.
