Abstract: Metal matrix composites containing aluminium alloys as matrix are of special interest in the present research field due to their decreased density and improved mechanical and corrosion resistance properties. Aerospace, automobile and marine industries are in need of these materials which are less prone to corrosion. Hence the need of composite materials is there in present industrial requirements because of improved resistance to corrosion. Aluminium and albite are mixed to get composite materials by the process of liquid metallurgy and vortex. Various corrosion tests were carried on composites in order to test their feasibility in different engineering applications. Static weight loss (SWL) corrosion test and potentio dynamic polarization were conducted on the composite materials mentioned above in hydrochloric acid medium. The results obtained confirms these composite materials possess better corrosion resistance properties from the matrix alloy.

Key words: Aluminium, Albite, Matrix, Composites, Vortex
