Recent progress on corrosion mechanisms of graphene-reinforced metal matrix composites

Abstract For components serving in high temperature, humidity, and salinity marine corrosive environment, it is vital to analyze the causes of corrosion behavior mechanisms. Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are commonly used materials for offshore equipment. In this work, factors MMCs environments analyzed from characteristics service mechanisms summarized. Graphene (Gr) has excellent comprehensive properties great potential applications metal protection materials. recent years, research into Gr anti-corrosive encompasses two aspects: pure coatings composite coatings. applied yet be extensively studied. Therefore, study analyzes resistance Gr–metal discusses Gr-reinforced MMCs, which provides a reference design optimization performance. Finally, future development directions proposed, critical such as defects, dispersion, content, size, arrangement, interface, conductivity affecting their anti-corrosion discussed.
