Abstract

Recent years, the corrosion of Al-alloy turned to be a serious issue, which directly influence the safe operation of engineering facilities made of Al-alloy. Based on the recent research results related to the mildew induced corrosion of Al-alloy, the representative species of mildew as well as the main factors close to the mildew activity were illustrated. Meanwhile, the relevant corrosion mechanisms were emphatically discussed, including acid corrosion, oxygen concentration cell, the possible direct electron transfer as well as the direct interfacial interaction between Al-alloy and mildew. Mildew can produce large amount of organic acids through metabolism, causing the decline of the pH values in test solution and biofilm, then leading to localized corrosion. As analyzed, the potential direct electron transfer and interfacial interaction between Al-alloy and mildew can be one of important causes, leading to the localized corrosion. Furthermore, the common control methods for mildew induced corrosion of Al-alloy were also reviewed. Finally, the future research focus of Al-alloy corrosion in the presence of mildew was also prospected.

Key words: Al-alloy mildew acid corrosion microbiologically influenced corrosion
