Zircon particles with size 50-80&micro;m have been introduced into the Al alloy by vortex technique. The alloy and the composite were subjected to weight loss corrosion test. The corrosion rate of the alloy is found to be higher than the composites. It has been further noticed that corrosion rate of composite decreases with increase in zircon particle content.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em>Key words :</em> , ,</p> https://ultraphysicalsciences.org/paper/1187/ corrosion rate zircon composite
