Gray cast iron is a material used in the fuel industry by its low cost, high mechanical strength and its manufacturing process. It has poor chemical resistance due to its high reactivity and susceptibility to corrosion. The use of biodiesel creates challenges of compatibility for this material, due to its oxidation and high hygroscopicity, which act as accelerators of corrosive processes. Within the applications this material has to offer, there are conditions of high temperature and pressure that affect the interaction with biodiesel and its process of corrosion. Gray cast iron samples were subjected to contact with palm biodiesel using the technique of static immersion in ambient conditions (18°C) and thermal cycles (Cyclic oxidation since18 to 200°C) and the corrosive effects were quantified. The material was immersed for a period of 450 hours and its weight was periodically recorded until the end of the test. The surface of the material was also analyzed by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. The results indicated a greater rate of corrosion on the cast iron for biodiesel fuel compared to regular diesel. In addition, it was observed that the thermal cycles accelerate the corrosive processes up to 4 times with respect to the ambient temperature.
