Abstract  The effect of sulfate - reducing bacteria (SRB) on corrosion behavior of Cu-Ni-Sn alloy were studied using open circuit potential, polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) were utilized to investigate the corrosion morphologies of Cu-Ni-Sn alloy. The open circuit potential of the alloy in condition with SRB decreased from -275 mV to -750 mV and nearly 650 mV lower than that of which without SRB (-100 mV). SEM results showed that an uneven biofilm occurred on the alloy surface and there were pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion. EDS analysis indicates that denickelification and detinning corrosion occurred and the corrosion products were copper and nickel sulfide. Therefore, the corrosion of Cu-Ni-Sn alloy accelerated under the biofilm of SRB.
