This paper aims to investigate the corrosion behavior of zirconium carbide (ZrC) reinforced Al – Si metal matrix composites (MMCs) in a mixture of acidic solution using weight loss method. The composites are prepared by powder metallurgy method. Al-12Si-xZrC composites containing 0, 5, and 10 weight percentage of ZrC particles are compacted in a die set assembly and sintered in an inert gas muffle furnace. The acidic solutions used for corrosion are 1 N HCl, 1 N H₂SO₄ and 1 N HNO₃. The corrosion characteristics of Al-12Si-xZrC composites and the pure Al were experimentally evaluated. The corrosion test was carried out at different weight proportions of the samples in various concentrations of the acid such as 1 N HCl, 1 N H₂SO₄ and 1 N HNO₃ for different exposure time (i.e., 24 h, 72 h, 144 h and 216 h), respectively. The results specified that corrosion rate of composites was lower than that of base metal Al under the corrosive atmosphere, regardless of exposure time and acidic solutions used as corrodents. Al-12Si-xZrC composites become more corrosion resistant as the ZrC content is increased. This is because of the development of stable oxide layer above the specimens. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirms the degree of attack of acidic solution on the surface of the examined material.
