| Summary: | Biodiesel serves as the best alternative candidate to diesel fuel for diesel engines as a
result of its ability to function as substitute to meet with the rising energy demand. It is
considered because of its environmental friendly characteristics while giving almost the
same functional properties like fossil fuels. This paper focuses on the tribo-corrosion
behaviour of biodiesel followed by development of tribocorrosion model with the aim of
understanding the combined effects of tribology and corrosion (synergism) for tribocomponent
materials under biodiesel. A systematic review analysis was performed on
the tribology, static corrosion for different biodiesel feedstock and factors affecting
tribocorrosion system. A model has been developed to evaluate the corrosive wear of
materials. It was found that synergism of wear and corrosion play an important role on
the performance of biodiesel. Finally, it is expected to utilize the biodiesel with
biocompatible engine component materials to enhance the reliability and performance. |
