Sulfate_reducing bacteria(SRB)grows and propagates, PH of the solution is dropped from 7.5 to 5.8,and forms the biofilms on carbon steel in culture medium.The micro_environment on the surface of carbon steel is changed under the biofilms,the factors accelerate the formation of the pitting corrosion. When the biofilm on carbon steel is cleaned out,the surface of carbon steel have the non_uniform pitting corrosion. The activity of SRB and the porous structure of biofilms induced the initiation and development of the pitting corrosion of carbon steel.The process of microbiologically induced corrosion(MIC) involves the development of SRB activity,which promotes the permeation of gydrogen into …
