1 Introduction Corrosion challenges in aluminum-based engineering are known across various sectors, especially automotive. Ensuring the safety and durability of construction components is crucial, yet it often remains a challenging task. Observed corrosion phenomena (e.g., pitting) involve an interplay between coupled chemical, electrochemical, and solid-state reactions and their transport kinetics, and thus are considered to be highly complex [1-3].

1 INTRODUCTION The transportation sector represents a significant contributor to CO2 emissions, necessitating innovative approaches to mitigate greenhouse gas releases resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels. An established measure to address this challenge involves the incorporation of biogenic ethanol through fuel blending, a mandatory practice in countries such as Brazil.
