Review Of Corrosion Aspects Of Compression Ignition Engine Parts Using Biodiesel Blends, B. Singh, John Korstad, Y. C. Sharma
Review Of Corrosion Aspects Of Compression Ignition Engine Parts Using Biodiesel Blends, B. Singh, John Korstad, Y. C. Sharma
College of Science and Engineering Faculty Research and Scholarship
This paper reviews the effects of corrosion on the engine parts that come in contact with a newly developed biodiesel fuel and its petrodiesel blend. Copper, aluminum, copper alloys (bronze), and elastomers caused significant levels of corrosiveness in biodiesel and biodiesel blend as opposed to low corrosion with petrodiesel. Specimens of stainless steel showed significant resistance to corrosion in biodiesel samples as compared to copper, aluminum, and copper alloys, but the level of corrosion was still higher than that in petrodiesel. Common methods adopted for measurement of corrosion include weight loss through static emersion tests, and electrochemical techniques by electrochemical …
