TY - CONF A1 - Weltschev, Margit A1 - Bäßler, Ralph T1 - Evaluation of the resistance of metallic materials under the influence of biofuels N2 - Changes in fuel composition and the introduction of alternative fuels often create problems of corrosion and degradation in materials. The objective of this research was to determine the corrosion behaviour of commercial metallic tank materials (unalloyed steels, austenitic CrNi- and CrNiMo-steels, aluminium and its alloys) in fuels and heating oil with admixtures of biogenic sources, such as gasoline with addition of ethanol (E10, E85), pure biodiesel and heating oil with 10 % biodiesel (B10). Metallic tank materials were evaluated as resistant in a liquid if the annual corrosion rate due to uniform corrosion did not exceed 0.1 mm/year, and localized corrosion effects in the form of pitting corrosion, stress corrosion cracking and crevice corrosion did not occur. The corrosion rates of the tank materials after exposure to E10, E85, non-aged and two-year aged pure biodiesel, and non-aged and one-year aged heating oil B10 for four weeks at 50 °C, according to DIN 50905/4, were well below the limit of 0.1 mm/year. For the unalloyed steels, the formation of rust was observed independently of the biofuels amount of ageing. U-bend specimens made of unalloyed steel were not damaged in form of stress corrosion cracking in all test fuels at this test temperature.
