Abstract
Considering world’s major power still becomes from oil, investments in materials that improve its transport and oil storage is extremely essential. The crude oil is highly corrosive, so your transport and storage in metallic systems cause a considerable loss of material. Thus, an alternative to resolve this problem is the internal coating of an inert material to crude oil that has high fracture tenacity and mechanical strength. Ceramic are a potential material due to your good compatibility with the desired. With the combination of Al2O3-ZrO2-CeO2 is expected high sintered density, high mechanical strength and highly inert to chemical attack crude oil. Ceramic discs were manufactured with ZrO2 percentages ranging from 5 to 20% by weight of the total mixture from homogenizing the components in a ball mill, material compacting and sintering at high temperature. Once formed the discs, they are being subjected to various tests and analysis as the Vickers hardness, optical microscopy, XRD, SEM and study of stability in crude oil from wells of Sergipe. Until the given moment, all results are as expected so that once reached the goal of this project it will be of great significance and technological value for the oil industry.
