Abstract
This research paper involves the study of Open Circuit Potential determination of the ZA-27 alloy reinforced with Sic particulate. MMC composites are prepared by liquid melt metallurgy technique using vortex method. Composites containing 2,4,6 weight percentage of Sic particulates of 60-80micro meter since they are prepared according to ASTM standards. Rectangular specimen of 2cm length and 1cm breadth is prepared. 1sq.cm is exposed to corrosive medium, they are subjected to Open Circuit Potential study using multimeter and calomel electrode. The potential observed for 2%,4%,6% composites were less than the potential of matrix alloy for a range of 96hrs. � 2006 SAEST.
