A 5083 are the widely used aluminium alloy materials for
marine, offshore, structural, aerospace and automobile
applications due to strength to weight ratio and resistance
to corrosion. Further, to improve the life span of the
material with increased mechanical and corrosion resistance
property of the material Montmorillonite -MMT (Nanoclay)
and Multi-wall Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) was used by
varying compositions like 3, 5, 7 and 9 by percentage weight
and 1, 1.25, 1.5 and 1.75 by percentage weight to improve
the corrosion behavior of the Aluminium Metal Matrix
Composite (AMMC). By using compo-casting process the
AMMC was developed. The developed composites surface
morphology was studied using Scanning ElectronMicroscope
(SEM) and Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope
(FESEM). The tensile tests were carried out based on the
ASTM standard A370, to find the mechanical property of the
developed composite materials. According to the ASTM-G31,
uniform corrosion tests were carried out for the developed
composites in HCl solutions. AA 5083 with MWCNT shows
the better mechanical and corrosion resistance property
than Nanoclay.
