Evaluation of the Corrosion Resistance of Some Coating Obtained by Thermal Spray in Plasma Jet, on the Surface of Some Crankshafts Made of C45 Steel

For modern engines the oil change interval can reach up to 30,000 km. If the oils lose their properties and are contaminated, they can adversely affect the corrosion resistance, the surface of the main bearing journals and the main journals of the crankshafts. In this study, the results obtained from the corrosion process were analyzed, in a solution of 3.5% NaCl of the layers obtained after spraying the surface of a C45 steel, used in the...
