Corrosion resistance of aluminium-silicon hypereutectic alloy from scrap metal
This study was carried out to investigate the corrosion resistance of Al–Si hypereutectic alloy in 5.0% NaCl solution using BMW 5 series piston head. The corrosion behaviours were investigated through immersion and electrochemical corrosion tests. The immersion test was carried out for 7–28 days, wh...

This study was carried out to investigate the corrosion resistance of Al–Si hypereutectic alloy in 5.0% NaCl solution using BMW 5 series piston head. The corrosion behaviours were investigated through immersion and electrochemical corrosion tests. The immersion test was carried out for 7–28 days, whereas for electrochemical test the exposure time was only about 15 min. Hardness test and microstructure study were carried out on samples before and after corrosion test. It was found that the dark phase is silicon and the white area is aluminium. The silicon dispersed in aluminium alloy. It was also found that corrosion rate of the Al–Si hypereutectic alloys decreases as exposure time increases in immersion corrosion test. This was due to the formation of thin and protective corrosion product on the metal surface that acted as barrier between the metal and the environment.
