Abstract
In this study, the corrosion behaviors of composite materials produced by adding different amounts of B4C in two different antifreeze (50 and 100% monoethylene glycol) environments are investigated. Aluminum matrix composites produced are characterized by microstructure, density, and hardness measurements. Potentiodynamic polarization technique is used in corrosion studies. While the hardness of composite materials produced is increased with increasing amount of B4C within the materials, the density of materials decreases. As a result of corrosion tests, it is observed that corrosion resistance decreases with the increasing amount of B4C. The highest corrosion resistance was obtained in the matrix material (AlGr) in 100% antifreeze solution.
期刊介绍:
Protection of Metals and Physical Chemistry of Surfaces is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes articles covering all aspects of the physical chemistry of materials and interfaces in various environments. The journal covers all related problems of modern physical chemistry and materials science, including: physicochemical processes at interfaces; adsorption phenomena; complexing from molecular and supramolecular structures at the interfaces to new substances, materials and coatings; nanoscale and nanostructured materials and coatings, composed and dispersed materials; physicochemical problems of corrosion, degradation and protection; investigation methods for surface and interface systems, processes, structures, materials and coatings. No principe restrictions exist related systems, types of processes, methods of control and study. The journal welcomes conceptual, theoretical, experimental, methodological, instrumental, environmental, and all other possible studies.
