The addition of Ce led to a transition of the SiO<sub>2</sub> layer from continuous to discontinuous and the formation of Si-poor areas in the matrix below the oxide scale. These changes caused an unexpected thickening of the oxide scale on the Ce-doped steel, which differs from findings in other studies. In this study, the Ce mainly located within the grains is preferentially oxidized to form CeO<sub>2</sub> during corrosion. CeO<sub>2</sub> can act as a nucleation site that promotes the formation, growth and aggregation of SiO<sub>2</sub> around it.

Cooling water, corrosion products, sediments, and swabs were analyzed for microstructural, chemical and microbiological characteristics. The cooling water contained sufficient nutrients to support microbial growth, along with chlorides that could compromise material integrity. Chemical analysis of the corrosion products revealed elevated sulfur levels, suggesting microbial activity. Molecular-genetic analysis showed a significant abundance of sulfur-oxidizing, nitrate-reducing, sulfate-reducing, and methylotrophic bacteria in the corrosion products.

Two weld preparation grades, namely P2 and P3, are included. Stripe coating (yes/no) and inspector level (three inspectors) are additional factors. The samples are exposed to a cyclic accelerated laboratory test according to ISO 12944-9 for varying exposure periods between 1 and 25 weeks.

Results of ANOVA analysis reveal that weld ripple and weld undercut require less thorough preparation (P2), when stripe coating is applied.
