Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion Behavior of Carbon Steel in the Presence of Marine Bacteria Pseudomonas sp. and Vibrio sp.

ABSTRACT: The microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) behavior of carbon steel is investigated in the presence of Vibrio and Pseudomonas. Sterilized natural seawater inoculated with Pseudomonas, Vibrio, and the mixture of Pseudomonas and Vibrio, separately, and they are utilized as the media for corrosion characterizations, which are closer to the natural environment in seawater. Weight loss measurements, electrochemical techniques (the open-circuit potential, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynamic polarization curves), and surface analysis (scanning electron microscopy (SEM)) are performed to explore the synergistic effect of Pseudomonas and Vibrio on the corrosion behavior of carbon steel. As seen from the grow
