This work involves the manufacturing of MAX phase materials including V2AlC and Cr2AlC using powder metallurgy as a new class of materials which characterized by regular crystals in lattice. Corrosion behavior of these materials was investigated by Potentiostat to estimate corrosion resistance and compared with the most resistant material represented by SS 316L. The experiments were carried out in 0.01N of HCl and 0.01N H2SO4 at four temperatures in the range of 303-333K. Polarization resistance values which calculated by Stern-Geary equation indicate that the MAX phase materials have more resistance than SS 316L. Optical microscopy results for corroded surfaces were confirming the resistivity of MAX phase materials.
