  ABSTRACT: Powder metallurgy (PM) is a very interesting metal manufacturing technique in the production of automotive components of a net or near net shape. In this research, the electrochemical corrosion behavior of a commercially available aluminum powder alloy known as Alumix 321 was investigated and compared to wrought alloy AA6061 in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Measurements (EIS). Alumix 321 alloy samples were prepared by pressing the powder at pressures ranging from 50 to 500 MPa and subsequently sintering them for 30 min at 630°C. It was found that the presence of pores and their morphology strongly affect the corrosion behavior the PM samples.
