627,105. In G 6 Claims.
The present invention relates to a method and means for protecting magnesium and magnesium alloys from the action of certain organic substances, and particularly of polyhydric alcohols and aqueous solutions of same.
Recently, it has repeatedly been suggested, with success, to add to the water employed as a cooling medium in internal combustion engines polyhydric alcohols such as-glycol and glycerine, or to employ the said substances as suchas cooling media so as to enhance the cooling eflect and reduce the danger of freezing under low temperature conditions. When, however, the said cooling compositions are employed in contact with magnesium or magnesium alloys, which are frequently used as a construction material for various parts of internal combustion engines, it has transpired that the-said metals are occasionally attacked by the polyhydric alcohol even at ordinary temperatures, and that such attack invariably occurs at the elevated temperatures obtaining in the working engine.
I have now observed that a small addition amounting to at least about 0.1 percent of alkali fluorides to cooling media comprising a polyhydric alcohol reduces the corroding attack upon magnesium and magnesium alloys to a negligible quantity. I
The following table is illustrative of the comparative eifect of an addition of alkali fluoride. The last column of the table gives the reduction in weight suffered, in the course of 24 hours, by 1 sq. meter of a sheet of magnesium alloy (composed of 6 per cent of aluminium, 1 per cent of zinc, 0.3 per cent of manganese, balance being magnesium) when exposed to the action of variouscooling compositions containing a polyhydric alcohol, with and without the addition of an alkali fluoride,'the loss in weight, of course. being representative of the corroding eflect.
ermany August 6, 1931 I claim:
1'. A method of preventing the corroding action, upon magnesium and magnesium alloys, of a liquid consisting substantially of a polyhydric alcohol, which comprises incorporating in said liquid a minor quantity of an alkali fluoride.
2. A method of preventing the corroding action, upon magnesium and magnesium alloys, of a liquid consisting of a. polyhydric alcohol, which comprises incorporating in said liquid a minor quantity, amounting to at least about 0.1 per cent by weight of the total liquid, of an alkali fluoride.
3. A method of preventing the corroding action, upon magnesium and magnesium alloys, of a polyhydric alcohol, which comprises incorporating in said alcohol a minor quantity, amounting to at least about 0.1 per cent by weight of the total liquid, of potassium fluoride.
4. A liquid cooling medium for internal combustion engines, incapable of attacking magnesium and magnesium alloys, which comprises a major quantity of a poly ydric alcohol and a minor quantity of an alkali fluoride. 5. A liquid cooling medium for internal combustion engines, incapable of attacking magnesium and magnesium alloys, which consists essentially of a polyhydric alcohol and a quail- 0.1 per cent by weight of the total liquid.
6. A liquid cooling medium for internal combustion engines, incapable of attacking magnesium and magnesium alloys, which consists of a polyhydric alcohol and a quantity of potassium fluoride amounting to at least 0.1 per cent by weight of the total liquid. 1
