Synthesis and Characterization of Low Cost MgO Nanoparticle for the Assessment of the corrosion performance on Aluminium 6065

The present research was mainly focused on synthesis of MgO nanoparticles by low temperature solution combustion method using urea as fuel for corrosion studies on aluminium 6065. The Surface morphology of the synthesized nanoparticle was examined using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The accurate size and morphology of synthesized nanoparticle was studied using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The phase composition of the synthesized nanoparticle was confirmed from powder X-ray Diffractometer (PXRD). The elemental composition of the metal was analyzed by Energy Dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDX) method. Functional groups attachments are confirmed by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Open circuit potential (OCP), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Taffel were characterized by using Electro chemical workstation for corrosion studies of stir cast reinforced aluminium (6065) composite.
