farookb Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Electrolysis Corrosion happens if you have an aluminium radiator in your car. Its basically chemical reaction between the coolant and the metal surface of the radiator. If the radiator is made of iron then the possibility of corrosion is lesser than the case of aluminium radiator. This corrosion takes place specially when the coolant is not changed in years in your car. You can notice corrosion when the radiator of your car is failing again and again. Sometimes the heater core failure is also because of the corrosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
