The early stages of bacterial settlement on 70:30 copper nickel alloy was followed by scanning electron microsocopy. Two strains of marine bacteria (Pseudomonas sp and Vibrio alginolyticus) isolated from polluted harbour sea water were used. The corrosion behaviour of the alloy was studied through corrosion potential measurements made in sterile and contaminated sea water. According to our results microbial colonisation of the metal surface occurs within the first 24 h for the two bacteria used. Well defined microbial colonies with localised corrosion underneath were seen by SEM after short periods of exposure. Corrosion attack seems to be closely related to passive film modification by the bacterial settlement. |
