CORROSION IN THE MOTOR‐CAR: 2. The Cooling System

Many forms of corrosion can be present in the cooling system of a motor‐car, in which a hot coolant, often unsuitable from the point of view of corrosion, flows through a number of parts made of different metals. Attack is aggravated by such conditions as exhaust gas or air leakage into the system. Corrosion can be minimised by the use of effective inhibitors. The first article in this series, ‘Corrosive Wear of Piston Rings and Cylinders,’ appeared in the August issue of CORROSION TECHNOLOGY.
