This work involves studying the effect of adding alcohols on corrosion behavior of Al-Si-Cu alloy in synthetic condensed automotive solution (CSAS) at room temperature. Alcohols used were methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH), porpanol (PropOH), Butanol (ButOH), and mixtures of (MeOH-EtOH), (MeOH-PropOH) and (MeOH-ButOH). According to potentiodynamic polarization tests, the results of corrosion resistance indicate that additive alcohols increase the resistance of Al-Si-Cu alloy, except for the addition of ethanol to the CSAS, with the resistance following the sequence: MeOH > ButOH > MeOH-ButOH > MeOH-PropOH > PropOH > MeOH-EtOH. Cyclic polarization measurements were carried out to estimate the pitting resistance of Al-Si-Cu alloy in CSAS in the absence and presence of alcohols, revealing that the hysteresis loop appears only in cases of presence of ethanol and the (MeOH-EtOH) mixture in CSAS, indicating the disadvantage of adding ethanol and the (MeOH-EtOH) mixture to automotive fuel.
