The global trend toward decreasing of atmospheric pollution, by saving fuel consumption in vehicles, has led to extensive interest of using lightweight metals such as magnesium alloys, in engine and cooling system components. The modern coolant is not intended to prevent corrosion of magnesium alloy in the engine cooling systems. The authors have developed a new coolant that aims to protect Mg alloy parts together with all other commonly used metals. Several inhibitor formulations were tested, according to glassware test (ASTM D1384) and heat transfer conditions (ASTM D4340). Mg alloys EZ33 and WE43 were added to the standard sets of metals and the corrosivity of different types of formulations was determined by weight loss measurements. The new anticorrosive coolant showed high performance in all tested metals including magnesium alloys and it satisfied the requirements (ASTM D3306). Cyclic potentiodynamic polarization curves have been used to study electrochemical corrosion behavior of the magnesium alloys EZ33 and WE43 in aqueous solution containing the inhibitors and ethylene glycol (33 vol%-EG prepared with corrosive water according to ASTM D1384) and compared to a reference coolant with no inhibitor. It was found that a passive film was created upon the Mg alloys, which exhibited high corrosion resistance against pitting.
