Evaluation of Corrosiveness of Alkoxymethylimidazolium Ionic Liquids
In this article, the results of research works on the corrosiveness of selected ionic liquids (ILs – Ionic Liquids), based on imidazolium, are presented. The research was carried out within the framework of PBR/15-249/2007/WAT-OR00002904 Research Project financed by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, during 2007-2011 [1]. Literature information about corrosiveness of ionic liquids to metal is very skimpy. During testing a numer of ionic liquids in terms of their implementation as lubricants for tribological nodes, it was necessary, first of all, to check their corrosiveness to metals. In this article the results of alkoxymethylimidazolium ionic liquids corrosiveness to ŁH15 steel (100Cr6, AISI 52100) and M1E copper will be presented.
