Authors Abstract
Content
Recently, use of aluminum engine parts has increased for fuel economy and power improvements. Aluminum cylinder heads, for example, are currently used in most engines. But, only low performance engine coolants are available for prevention of heat-transfer corrosion of aluminum cylinder heads.
The authors have studied a laboratory test method that is able to accurately evaluate the performance of engine coolants for prevention of aluminum cylinder head corrosion. And we have developed the new test method by changing the test specimen temperature higher and the engine coolant temperature lower than the ASTM D4340 test. The new test has been confirmed engine bench test. We evaluated further the performance of many engine coolants of the world for prevention of aluminum cylinder head corrosion using the new test. We have known that there were a lot of poor performance engine coolants in the world.
