Experimental design to study corrosivity of diesel-biodiesel mixtures on microalloyed steel
Material selection is a crucial part of industrial process and the analysis of the effects of operational variables on the corrosion plays an important role. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the corrosion of a microalloyed steel in contact whit diesel-biodiesel mixtures. A design of experiments, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and surface response methodology (SRM) were used in order to evaluate the corrosivity of the fuel mixtures in contact with steel.
