Keywords:

  • metal–matrix composites (MMCs) - corrosion resistance of MMCs, less than that of their monolithic matrix alloys;
  • electrochemical effects of primary MMC constituents - major factors in MMC corrosion, galvanic action between matrix and reinforcement, conductive or semiconductive;
  • corrosion protection of MMCs - metal corrosion, preventing use of protective coatings and inhibitors
