Investigation on Corrosion Behaviour of Hybrid Aluminium Metal Matrix Composite Welded by Friction Stir Welding

High strength with less weight material is a very important challenge to the researcher. In today's world Aluminium has excellent engineering applications; aluminium 6061 has the most advantageous properties in the engineering field and automotive sector. The composite material demonstrates poor ductility and malleability that is because of non-deformable ceramic reinforced particles. The current investigation focuses on the influence of welding parameters on the corrosion rate of hybrid Aluminium Metal Matrix Composite (AMMC). AMMC plates are joined through friction stir welding technique, with the tool rotating speed of 650 rpm, 950 rpm, and 1150 rpm and also collated welding speed of 30 mm/min, 80 mm/ min, and 120 mm/min respectively. Current work evidence that the importance of welding parameters on the corrosion rate of the hybrid AMMC concerning base material.(c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
