| Abstract | ||||
| In this study, the corrosion behavior of ultra-fine Cu and SiC(p)/Cu composites powders with different weight percentages of SiC particles was investigated in a simulated sea solution (3.5 wt% NaCl aqueous solution). The composites were produced via powder metallurgy (P/M) route. The corrosion performance was evaluated by immersion tests, electrochemical measurements and SEM. The results reveal that the corrosion performance of SiC(p)/Cu composites improved as a function of SiC(p) content. The notable increase in corrosion resistance was attributed to the characteristics of protective copper oxide films formed on the surface and decreasing the microgalvanic couple between the reinforcement particles Keywords: and Cu matrix | ||||
