Biodiesel fuel has attracted much attention as a carbon neutral fuel because it is made from vegetable oil. Since the research on the compatibility of materials with biodiesels is an emerging field, we have continued our previous investigation “corrosion of metals in biodiesel from Pongamia pinnata – (Paper #14143, NACE 2010)” on Pongamia pinnata biodiesel-diesel blends. In this study, the corrosivity of Pongamia pinnata biodiesel and its blends with petroleum diesel on various metals in static condition have been tested by mass loss and linear polarization resistance (LPR) methods. The localized corrosion has been analyzed using laser profilometer.
