Abstract: Oil pumps are facing aggressive environment during operation. The halides in the environment are ingested with the oil during operation. At this condition, the oil is heated up to 80°C and making the component to prove under corrosion. To simulate this issue, components from oil pump made of (SS 316 L) austenitic stainless steel. Engine oil before and after usage is considered as an electrolyte-to study the corrosion using cyclic Volta-metric potentiostat, corrosion studies are performed with pure and filtered oil. After corrosion studies, samples are analyzed from SEM for surface damage.
