biomedical sectors. The use of these materials is getting increasingly important for …

In the present effort, Aluminium Matrix Composites (AMCs) were produced by the addition of
submicron sized TiC and WC particles of low (up to 1.0 vol%) content into a melt of Al1050 …

The galvanic corrosion behavior of the AA6016/SM490 couple was investigated by
repeating wet/dry cycles in NaCl-containing droplets. Initially, the galvanic corrosion rate …

The corrosion behaviour of metal matrix composites (MMCs) is strictly linked with the
presence of heterogeneities such as reinforcement phase, microcrevices, porosity …

In the present work, the corrosion behavior of the B 4 C/pure Al composite in a Cl−
containing environment is investigated. Thereby, the B 4 C/pure Al composites have been …
