Composites material plays a prominent role in industrial sectors. The metal matrix composites play a vital role in any scenario with respect to these properties and their usage in current applications. The materials like micro titanium have good properties and hence these materials are considered and the hybrid composites are developed. In the current project work metal matrix composites was developed using copper as a matrix and carbon nanotubes and micro titanium as reinforcement. In this paper the metal matrix composites were developed using stir casting and the developed composites was subjected to corrosion test as per ASTM standards. The corrosion test was experimentally based on the concept of effects of percentage of reinforcement on corrosion duration based on normality media on corrosion rate of carbon nanotube and micro titanium in copper metal matrix and hence this present work attempts to understand the influence of corrosion on copper composites.

Keywords- Micro titanium, Copper, Carbon nanotubes, Corrosion test, ASTM standards, Normality, Molarity.
