Study of Block Corrosion in Truck, Cargo, 1-1/4 Ton, 6x6, M561

Abstract

The object of the study was to determine the cause of cavitation/ corrosion found on the aluminum block of the Gamma Goat tactical wheeled vehicle (Truck, Cargo, 1-1/4 Ton, 6x6, M561). Severe corrosion was found after this vehicle had been operated less than 10,000 miles when water plus the standard military corrosion inhibitor, 0-1-490a had been used in the cooling system.
