3) from the Roach Criteria for acceptable engine wearing surfaces, opposing a steel surface:
-germanium
-silver
-cadmium
-indium
-tin
-antimony
-thallium
-lead
-bismuth
-I'm not seeing 'alumina'

You want to see some alumina wearing surfaces:
Have a look at the most all the pistons in modern vehicle engines.
They are exposed to oxygen you know.
Perhaps you are also having trouble Iron Oxide despite the fact that is the base metal in just about every other wearing surface in an engine?
So Roach better take another look if Roach wants anyone here to take him seriously.
And yes; I dissolved BA in boiling water before adding it to engines.
One must assume that said emulsion got water and BA(aq) in contact with wearing surfaces to more or less the same extent.
That is after all one of your issues with my BA treatment.
Or isnt it?
It's hard to decide when you change your arguments all the time.
Tell you what:
YOU go off and prove that BA DOES NOT react with the alloys and their oxides in your list
despite
said reactions being one of the issues you had with all this in the 1st place..!
