Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the mechanical and corrosion performance of AA2024-AA3003 aluminum matrix composites joined by friction stir welding.
Synthesis of aluminum matrix composites using stir casting
Joining aluminum alloys AA2024 and AA3003 through friction stir welding
Incorporation of titanium carbide (TiC) and zirconium carbide (ZrC) as reinforcements
Evaluation of ultimate tensile strength (UTS), hardness, and corrosion rates
Highest UTS of 140.82 MPa observed in AA3003 alloy welded with AA2024/5% TiC
Lowest UTS recorded at 88.06 MPa in AA2024/5% ZrC welded with AA3003/5% TiC
Brinell Hardness Number (BHN) peaked at 74.25 in Al 3003/5% ZrC welded with Al 2024/5% ZrC
Lowest acidic corrosion rate was 0.8 mpy and basic rate was 0.57 mpy for AA2024/5% TiC welded with AA3003/5% TiC
