The worldwide need for lightweight, high-quality, high-performance, and low-cost materials is prompting a change in emphasis from unreinforced materials to reinforced/composite materials. The mechanical properties of the MHP reinforced aluminum composite are compared to those of the unreinforced metal using the data on the corrosion performance of maize husk particulate reinforcement on high 1170 Aluminium alloy in 0.00625 M H2SO4, 3.5 wt.% NaCl and a mixture of both solutions was studied using weight loss technique to determine the corrosion rates of the specimens. Optical microscopic analysis was also carried out on the specimens to determine the effect of the reinforcement on the microstructural properties of the material before and after corrosion. The corrosion rates calculated from the weight loss study revealed differences in the corrosion characteristics of the specimens in the various solutions …
