Abstract

The impact of nitrate addition on corrosion of EH40 steel in natural seawater was investigated. The corrosion rate, morphology and products of EH40 steel, as well as the formed biofilm morphology, and microbial communities on the steel immersed in natura seawater with various addition of nitrate (0, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 mmol/L) for 12 weeks were studied by means of mass loss measurement, potentiodynamic polarization curves, SEM, CLSM, Raman spectroscopy, and examination of high throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene. It was found that corrosion of EH40 steel was promoted by nitrate addition, and the promotion degree was dependent on the contents of nitrate added. Meanwhile, localized corrosion was enhanced by nitrate addition. The impact of nitrate addition on the corrosion of EH40 steel is affected by microorganisms, correspondingly, which can change the structure of microbial communities of biofilms.

Key words: seawater corrosion microbiologically influenced corrosion nitrate EH40 steel
