In order to determine the effect of cold work on the electrochemical behavior, the composites were cold-worked to a plastic strain of 4, 6, 10, 25 and 50%. A major change in the corrosion morphologies were observed cold working ratio increased from 4 to 50%. For example, electrochemical analysis indicated that the corrosion current densities (icor) of 20% vol. SiC composite increased from 0.8 to 5.9 with increasing cold-worked ratio after T8 temper. In addition, we find that there is a significant coloration between corrosion susceptibility and level of cold work.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCold WorkingCorrosionMetal Matrix CompositeSic ParticleT8 TemperConference ObjectN/AN/A
