Several Al/SiC MMCs having several volume fractions up to 15 vol.% and different SiC particulates average sizes, typically, 11, 6 and 3 μm were fabricated using conventional powder metallurgy (PM) route. The effect of the size and volume fraction of SiC particulates on the microstructural and corrosion behavior of Al/SiC metal matrix composites (MMCs) were studied. The results revealed that the Al/SiC MMCs exhibited higher density than pure Al matrix. The static immersion corrosion tests of Al/SiC MMCs in 3.5 wt.% NaCl aqueous solution at several temperatures showed that, at ambient temperature, the Al/SiC MMCs have better corrosion resistance than the pure Al matrix. Reducing the SiC particles size and/or increasing the volume fraction of the SiC particulates reduce(s) the corrosion rate of the Al/SiC MMCs. In contrast, the Al/SiC composites exhibited higher corrosion rates at 50 °C and 75 °C than the pure Al matrix.
