An accelerated corrosion test was used to test a number of corrosion inhibitors at different concentrations to determine their effectiveness in preventing corrosion of No. 100 aluminum brazing sheet in Royal Oak tap water. Four inhibitors were found to be effective under conditions of static test, 1000 rpm and 12,000 rpm. These inhibitors were: soluble oil with or without trisodium phosphate, sodium dichromate, sodium silicate, and disodium hydrogen phosphate. Of these, all but the soluble oil are either non-compatible or might lose their effectiveness when used in standard antifreeze solutions. The corrosion inhibition of clad aluminum by soluble oil is less effective in waters of combined high pH and high chloride ion than it is in waters of high chloride alone. Addition of a buffer to the soluble oil to maintain the solution pH near 7.0 improves the effectiveness of this inhibitor in high pH solutions. The combination of soluble oil and buffer satisfactorily inhibits the corrosion of clad aluminum in 1:1 ratio ethylene glycol-water (pH 11) and isopropyl alcohol-water (pH 11) solutions, typical of the worst radiator solutions that might be encountered. The inhibition is somewhat less effective when the clad aluminum is coupled with brass.6.4.2
