This study investigates the microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of 90/10 copper-nickel alloy in the presence of anaerobic Desulfovibrio vulgaris. The corrosion rate of the alloy varies with different energy starvation levels due to varying biogenic H2S concentrations and extracellular electron transfer (EET) by D. vulgaris. Biogenic H2S causes degradation of the passive films generated on the alloy. The presence of 20 ppm riboflavin accelerates the weight loss of the alloy by 52%. The EET routes result in localized corrosion of the nickel component in the alloy. Two types of MIC mechanisms coexist in the 90/10 Cu-Ni alloy MIC by D. vulgaris.
The microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of 90/10 copper-nickel (Cu-Ni) alloy in the presence of anaerobic Desulfovibrio vulgaris was investigated in this work. The corrosion rate of the alloy varied remarkably with different energy starvation levels, which was attributed to various biogenic H2S concentrations and extracellular electron transfer (EET) by D. vulgaris. The biogenic H2S caused the degradation of passive films generated on the alloy. 20 ppm (w/w) riboflavin accelerated the weight loss of alloy by 52%. The EET routes resulted in localized corrosion of Ni contained in the alloy. Two types of MIC mechanisms coexisted in the 90/10 Cu-Ni alloy MIC by D. vulgaris.
