Description
Summary:The corrosion behaviors of Al-6Mg-Zr and Al-6Mg-Zr-Sc in the sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) solution in anaerobic environment were studied using electrochemical, microbiological, and surface analysis methods. It was found that the oxide film was more compact owing to the addition of Sc resulting in the open circuit potential shifting by about 100mV positively. On the other hand, it was seen that the pitting sensitivity of Al-6Mg-Zr-Sc alloy in SRB solution decreased and its microbiologically influenced corrosion resistance was improved. Pitting corrosion occurring on the surface of the two alloys under the comprehensive action of the metabolism of SRB was observed by SEM. It was obtained by EDS that the corrosion degree increased with time and corrosion was furthered by deposition of the product.
