This book is unique study about corrosion and wear behavior based on microstructure investigation for aluminum-silicon alloy (A356) prepared by using the high intensity ultrasonic vibration (UST). Characterization and investigation of the corrosion inhibition of Al-Si alloy in neutral solution by mean of the rare earth metals are also dealt with. This study may be used as guide for automotive industries.
