Corrosion In Car Parts

Corroded Car Parts

Corrosion is a natural process that converts a refined metal into a more chemically stable oxide. Your car is made with metal. So corrision is the main danger. So what kind of car parts is in danger ?

Corroded Cylinder Heads

Erosion can both be caused by cooling system issues, as well as lead to increased problems with the cooling system. The erosion/ pitting can allow for coolant to leak into the cylinders, causing increased machine damage, oil painting impurity, and leading to further pitting, particularly on the machine block.

Chassis Corrosion

Your frame is made up of many highly corroded components. Since most of these are made of metal, such as the rear of the vehicle, the exterior of the vehicle and the control unit, you need a good anti-rust product.

Corrosion types

Different types of corrosion can occur depending on metal nature that is involved and the surrounding environment.

The types of corrosion:
  • Uniform corrosion
  • Galvanic corrosion
  • Pitting corrosion
  • Crevice corrosion
  • Deposit corrosion

Problems Can Engine Corrosion Cause

Overheating When the engine is corroded, a cycle of overheating problems can occur. It is caused by friction, exacerbated by rust and corrosion over time, and can lead to cooling system leaks or other damage.

MPG and Reduced Efficiency Engine corrosion can cause many engine operating problems, including misfires and reduced efficiency. This is because corrosion and deposits can disrupt the combustion cycle, which means the engine cannot handle air and fuel at normal speeds.

Fuel Injector Failure A common type of crevice corrosion that occurs in fuel injectors can become clogged with deposits and fail over time. This results in reduced motor efficiency.

Fuel and Oil Filter Plugged Rust and deposits in engine oil create "sludge" that clogs fuel and oil filters and can lead to a variety of failures and problems.
