Need Corrosion information on 3003 Aluminum exposed to Formic Acid.

Need Corrosion information on 3003 Aluminum exposed to Formic Acid.

Need Corrosion information on 3003 Aluminum exposed to Formic Acid.

(OP)
A competator has introduced an aluminum burial vault that will be exposed to Formic Acid.  Formic acid exposure will take place as a gas and later as a liquid.  Formic acid is a product of decomposition of the human body.  I have been asked to provide relative information for comparison to steel.  I've read some "old" information on aluminum corrosion tests in soil.  There is mention of PH, drainage, & soil conductivity.  I need more information to complete the picture.
Please help.
