Freshly, a fast explosion happened in investigation and developments in the field of aluminium metal matrix composites. This importance is due to the improvements in density, mechanical and corrosion behaviour. In this research paper corrosion behaviour of aluminium 6061 / red mud metal matrix composites is discussed with respect to microstructure, static weight loss corrosion and potentiodynamic polarization. Composites containing three different percentages of red mud particulates are manufactured by liquid melt metallurgy technique using vortex method. Matrix alloy and composites are tested for corrosion behaviour in three different concentrated solutions of sodium hydroxide. Results obtained reveal that in all the tests the corrosion rate of composite materials decrease with increase in reinforcement content when compared to matrix alloy in alkaline medium. Hence composites are more suitable for application in alkaline medium.
