Hardness and Corrosion of Al-Cu-Ni Composites

The document presents hardness values and corrosion rates for Al-4.5% Cu-Ni composites with varying nickel additions. Hardness tests show a range of average Rockwell hardness values from 2.267 to 34.567 HRc across different samples. Corrosion rates decrease with increasing nickel content, with the lowest corrosion rate observed at 5% Ni after both 2 and 4 hours of exposure.
