Microbiologically influenced corrosion of mild steel and stainless steel by pseudomonas aeruginosa in enriched artificial sea water / Ahmad Hisham Mohamed Aris

Corrosion damage in the form of pitting corrosion was observed on both mild steel ASTM 283-D and stainless steel 304 after being exposed to Pseudomonas aeruginosa-inoculated enriched artificial seawater (EASW) after 7 days and 14 days exposure period. To determine the difference in corrosion severit...
