Development of Aluminium Based Magnetic Composites & Study on Chemical Properties at Sea Water Environment

Aluminium based metal composites are preferred for different applications for its superior physical, mechanical and chemical properties. This study has taken an effort towards developing aluminium based magnetic composites (also termed as iron- aluminium metal– metal composites) through conventional powder metallurgy (P/M) technique. Presence of various phases after sintering have identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Developed composites have considered for physical, mechanical and chemical evaluations into salty environment. Improvement of both density and hardness of developed composites have found out with iron reinforcements. Changes of surface morphology of developed composites due to addition of iron and consequent interaction with seawater have observed and reported.
