Corrosion resistance of different coated steels for fuel tanks

Abstract

Comparative investigations of the corrosion resistance of different coated sheet steels in various fuel mixtures were carried out. Corrosion resistance has been studied on the following materials: Neuratern (electrolytically deposited terne‐coated steel, Thyssen Stahl AG, Germany); Ternesheet (hot‐dip terne‐coated steel, Nippon Steel, Japan); hot‐dip terne‐coated steel (Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine); Neuralyt (Zn‐Ni electrolytically deposited steel, Thyssen Stahl AG, Germany); fal‐D (hot‐dip aluminized steel, Thyssen Stahl AG, Germany); hot‐dip aluminized steel (Cherepovets), Russia); Galvalume (hot‐dip Zn‐55 per cent Al steel, Cherepovets, Russia). Investigations were carried out in the following environments: commercial petrol without special additives + water; commercial petrol, 10 per cent ethylated spirit + water; commercial petrol, 15 per cent methylated spirit + water. Corrosion resistance was evaluated in terms of ratings and weight loss. To compare the behaviour of the different types of samples and various fuel mixtures over the test period rating curves were plotted as a function of the test time.
