Summary of Test Method3.1 In this test method, a heat flux is established through acast aluminum alloy typical of that used for engine cylinderheads while exposed to an engine coolant under a pressure of193 kPa (28 psi). The temperature of the al

6、uminum specimenis maintained at 135C (275F) and the test is continued for 1week (168 h). The effectiveness of the coolant for preventingcorrosion of the aluminum under heat-transfer conditions(hereafter referred to as heat-transfer corrosion) is evaluated onthe basis of the weight change of the test

7、 specimen.4. Significance and Use4.1 It is essential that engine coolants prevent heat-transfercorrosion of aluminum cylinder heads during engine operation.Any corrosion products formed may deposit on interior radia-tor surfaces, reducing heat-transfer efficiency of the radiator.Overheating and boil

8、-over of the cooling system may thenoccur.4.2 This test method provides a means for selectivelyscreening unused engine coolants and will readily distinguishthose coolants that are unsuitable for use with aluminumcylinder head engines. However, satisfactory performance of acoolant in this test method

9、 does not ensure adequate long-termservice performance. Additional, more comprehensive evalua-tions with simulated service, dynamometer, and vehicle testsshould be used to establish the long-term effectiveness of thecoolant.5. Apparatus5.1 Heat-Transfer Corrosion CellThe assembled corro-sion cell is

10、 shown schematically in Fig. 1. It is assembled fromcomponents, some of which require glass blowing or machin-ing. The glass O-ring cell shall be constructed from two glassO-ring joints3joined to an additional middle section of glasstubing4of the same diameter to make a total length of 53 cm(21 in.)

11、. Heat-resistant O-rings5shall be used. Internal pressureshall be monitored using a suitable pressure gage,6and apressure-relief valve7shall be installed to protect againstbursting.5.1.1 The top assembly plate (shown in Fig. 2) shall beconstructed of stainless steel, and the heat-transfer bar andbot

Sampling6.1 The engine coolant concentrate shall be sampled inaccordance with Test Method D1176.7. Metal Test Specimen7.

24、1 Cast Aluminum, conforming to UNS A0319015is used.Specimen size is 6.5 cm (2.6 in.) in diameter, 1.3 cm (0.5 in.)thick. Fig. 2 illustrates location of the thermocouple holes.8. Test Solution8.1 Dissolve 165 mg of reagent grade sodium chloride in750 mL of distilled or deionized water, and then add 2

25、50 mLof the test coolant. This is sufficient solution for two tests.9. Test Conditions9.1 The aluminum heat-transfer specimen temperature ismaintained at 135 6 1C (275 6 2F) throughout the test bymeans of a thermocouple connected to the temperature con-troller. The thermocouple is inserted into one

26、of the thermo-couple holes in the test specimen. The other thermocouple holeis used for occasional precise temperature measurements.9.2 The test is run continuously for 1 week (168 h).9.3 Duplicate tests are required.10. Preparation of Test Specimen10.1 The following steps are necessary in the prepa

27、ration ofthe aluminum test specimen for maximum repeatability andreproducibility:10.2 Polish the test specimen progressively with coarse-,medium-, and fine-grit emery cloth or paper, and finally with600-grit paper.10.3 Wash the test specimen with warm tap water, then rinsewith distilled or deionized

28、 water, and finally with acetone.Make sure thermocouple holes are free of metal chips andpolishing debris. Flush the holes with acetone and removeexcess liquid with a glass capillary pipet or other suitablemeans.10.4 Dry the test specimen in a vacuum oven for a minimumof4hat65to90C (149 to 194F) to

29、remove residual liquidthat may be retained in a porous casting. From this point, usethin cotton gloves, or equivalent, to handle the specimen toavoid weighing errors.10.5 Remove the specimen from the oven and allow it tocool to room temperature in a desiccator.10.6 Weigh the specimen to 0.1 mg using

30、 an analyticalbalance. The test sample may be reused if desired, but shall beprepared in accordance with 10.1-10.6.11. Procedure11.1 AssemblyAssemble the cell in accordance with Fig.1. Use new O-rings between the aluminum test specimen andglass cell for each test. To help ensure that the O-rings are

31、properly seated, apply a small amount of the test solution to theglass O-ring groove for lubrication. Avoid overtightening ofthe threaded rod nuts.11.2 Starting the TestTransfer 500 mL of test coolantsolution into the test cell, screw the plug in the hole, andtighten. Place the safety shield around

32、the cell, (see Warning)pressurize the cell to 138 kPa (20 psi) with compressed air, andturn the band heater on. Provision must be made for a pressurerise with increase in temperature.Adjust the pressure graduallyso that when the temperature reaches the proper value, the finalpressure is 193 kPa (28

33、psi). (WarningDespite the presenceof a safety relief valve, test cells have burst under pressure. Useof a safety shield is absolutely necessary. A clear plasticenclosure, having allowance for adequate circulation of air yetcompletely surrounding the test apparatus has been success-fully used for thi

34、s purpose.)11.3 Conducting the TestAdjust the temperature to 135 61C (275 6 2F) with the temperature controller. Monitor thetemperature at the auxiliary thermocouple hole at periodicintervals with a precision potentiometer. Operate the cellcontinuously at this temperature for 1 week (168 h).11.4 Ter

35、minating the TestAt the end of the test period,turn off the heater and allow the cell to cool to roomtemperature before disassembly. Release pressure, remove thefill plug, and pour or siphon out the test coolant.11.5 After disassembly, clean the cell with a large bristlebrush rotated by an electric

36、drill motor, pumice powder,detergent, and water.12. Cleaning of Aluminum Test Specimen12.1 Wash the specimen with a soft bristle brush using amild detergent.16Remove any O-ring residue by gentle scrap-ing with a material that is softer than the aluminum (forexample, a thick piece of polyethylene or

37、polypropylene witha freshly sheared edge).12.2 In a fume hood, immerse the specimen for exactly 10min in an aqueous solution containing 4 parts concentratednitric acid (70 % by weight) plus one part water at 25C(77F). Occasionally brush the surface with a soft bristle brush.After 10 min, transfer th

38、e beaker containing the aluminumspecimen and cleaning solution to an ultrasonic cleaning unit.Apply power for 1 min. (WarningNitric acid is a strongoxidant. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Do notbreathe vapor.)12.3 Remove the specimen from the cleaning solution, flushwell with tap water

39、, then with distilled or deionized water, andfinally with acetone. Make sure thermocouple holes are flushed13Ace-Nelson Model 911 has been found satisfactory.
