The Appraisal of the thermal properties, electrical response, and corrosion resistance performance of AA8011 reinforced Nano Si3N4 for automobile application

AA8011-5 wt% Si3N4, AA8011-10 AA8011-15 and AA8011-20 Si3N4 were developed via two-steps stir casting route of liquid metallurgy. The influence the inclusion non-conductive inorganic nano ceramic on thermal properties, electrical behavior, corrosion resistance performance conductive AA8011 matrix was investigated. responses thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) differential (DTA) revealed a decrease in material mass loss an increase melting point temperature with respect to addition respectively as function rise controlled inert environment. However, conductivity decreases percentage weight fraction resulted high resistivity composite developed. Also, behavior investigated by potentiodynamic electrochemical process gravimetric measurement evaluate rate capacity simulated seawater observed inclusion, inhibit or resist attack blocking site initiation compared unreinforced AA8011. In all, increases relation efficiency Si3N4.
