Characterization of Tribo-corrosion using jatropha curcas linnaeas biodiesel for automotive engine component materials

Biodiesel as an alternative renewable fuel is increasingly being considered as blending components or replacement for traditional petroleum fuels. It consists of different ester molecules with variable levels of unsaturations and chain lengths. Although the acceptance of biodiesel in automobile appl...

Based on the current study, it is preferable to use alloy steel with TiC coating in automotive applications that use biodiesel fuel. 2016-03 Monograph NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/52333/1/End%20of%20report%20ERGS12.pdf Maleque, Md.
