Abstract

Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is one of the most common corrosion types of buried pipelines. Many investigations in field survey and laboratory simulation studies have verified that microorganisms in soil and applied stresses can synergistically participate in and significantly affect the crack initiation and propagation of pipeline steels. This phenomenon was named as “microbiologically assisted cracking (MAC)”. Relevant mechanisms, such as pitting mechanism, hydrogen damage mechanism, have been proposed to illuminate this phenomenon. However, there is still a lack of thermodynamic interpretation of MAC and the dynamic analysis deriving from thermodynamic interpretation. In the paper, the thermodynamic interpretation and the dynamic analysis for sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) /nitrate-reducing bacteria (NRB) -assisted cracking were proposed based on the mechano-chemical interaction theory, bioenergetics and corrosion electrochemistry. The thermodynamic results showed that under the combined actions of SRB/NRB and external stress, the changes of Gibbs free energy of the corrosion reactions decrease and the releasing energies increase accordingly, revealing the stronger corrosion tendency in thermodynamics. For Fe-based alloys, NRB corrosion and NRB-assisted cracking are the more thermodynamically favorable processes, as compared to SRB corrosion and SRB-assisted cracking, respectively. The dynamic results showed that the corrosion rate and the crack propagation rate increase under the combined actions of applied stresses and microorganisms.
