Metal matrix composites play a vital role in modern industrial sector due to its tailored made properties. This work reports a study of the corrosion characteristics of micro titanium, carbon nanotube reinforced copper based metal matrix composites in hydrochloric acid environment based on molarity basis. The metal matrix composites were prepared by the stir casting process for metal matrix composites and the weight reduction concept was adopted to investigate the corrosion rate. The term of the test gone for 24, 48, 72,96hrs based on molarity concept as per ASTM standards and the composite behavior with introduction of time is noted. The variation in corrosion rate with respect to percentage of reinforcement was studied and the conclusion was derived.

Molarity, ASTM standards, Copper composites, corrosion rate.
