Also, B6 and B12 biodiesel fuels were produced. Fuel blends were tested on a diesel engine with thermal barrier-coated surfaces for 50 h under the same conditions. When the SEM images and the EDS analysis results of the pistons covered with the ceramic composite main coating material are examined, it has been seen that the coating material permeates the surfaces in a very homogeneous manner and allows to work with high performance without causing any deterioration on the surfaces during working. At high temperatures, the working periods of 50 h and the formation of smoke did not cause any damage to the main material and the coating material.en10.1080/01430750.2018.1501748info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDiesel enginesunflower oilthermal barrier coatingbiodieselSEMCorrosion BehaviorWear BehaviorAl2O3CoatingsAluminaOilArticle419104110482-s2.0-85052116400WOS:000552087900009Q2N/A
