Abstract:

The object of this study was to investigate the potential corrosion problems when commercial antifreezes are mixed with each other and with the military antifreeze MIL-A-46153. Results show that corrosion-inhibiting properties of commercial antifreezes have been improved. Mixtures of commercial antifreezes, however, are still less than adequate. Keywords Antifreeze compatibility, Composition specifications, Performance specifications.
