Corrosion/Deterioration of Fuel Tank Materials Wetted in Methanolic Electrolytes
Abstract
Question has been raised concerning the stability of various fuel wetted device structural materials over a prolonged storage period in methanol based electrolytes. Accelerated corrosion tests were designed to study this problem. These included potentiodynamic scanning, galvanic couple and elevated temperature corrosion studies. The observation of physical property changes was employed for the nonmetallic component. The materials examined were: anodized and unanodized 6061-T6 aluminum, 5052-32 anodized aluminum, 1018 bare and zinc plated steel, and an ethylene-propylene O-ring material.
