The “BAM-List – Requirements for Tanks for the Transport of Dangerous Goods” with compatibility evaluations of selected metallic material groups as well as of polymeric gasket and lining materials under the influence of dangerous goods and water-polluting substances is the basis for substance-related prototype approvals for tank containers designed for the carriage of dangerous goods [1]. There is a large number of dangerous goods with a high corrosivity to metals, where the standard steels are not corrosion resistant. One possibility to solve corrosion problems is to line the tank with a polymeric material, an alternative possibility is the application of high-alloyed stainless steels and nickel-based alloys as there are X1NiCrMoCuN25-20-7 (alloy 926, NO8926), X1NiCrMoCu32-28-7 (alloy 31, NO8031) and NiCr23Mo16Al (alloy 59, NO6059).

For lack of corrosion test results with welded test samples of these high-alloyed materials under the influence of corrosive dangerous goods a comprehensive test programme was performed with welded specimens. The programme comprised corrosion resistance evaluations of the three high-alloyed materials in substances representing 12 major groups of corrosive dangerous goods. The test results, presented in this paper, are included in the 8th edition of the BAM-List and therefore available for the costumer.
