The experiments were carried out in seawater seeded with salt marsh sediments as microbial inoculum. Microbial colonisation was observed on the surface after 10 days immersion at the open circuit potential (OCP). For the first time, the catalysis of dioxygen reduction by marine microbial activity was demonstrated on Al alloy using linear sweep voltammetry. This biocatalytic effect also influenced the corrosion rate (polarisation resistance measurement) and the formation of the biomineralization layer. Surface and cross-section SEM observations showed the existence of this layer, its mass was measured by phospho-chromic stripping. At the OCP, after 10 days' immersion, the layer is 31 % heavier in the presence of microorganisms, demonstrating the involvement of microbial activity in its formation. To understand the mechanism involved, the application of different polarisation potentials highlighted the role of cathodic and anodic reactions, showing that a dissolution/precipitation phenomenon was at the origin of the formation of the mine-ralised layer.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":290,"journal":{"name":"Corrosion Science","volume":"255 ","pages":"Article 113071"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144213047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Once crevice corrosion initiates at a given site, it propagates from the initiation site toward the crevice mouth. Upon reaching the crevice mouth, corrosion spreads circumferentially along the crevice mouth. This behavior occurs because the potential decreases rapidly before reaching the corrosion initiation site due to the IR drop, resulting in higher potential at the crevice mouth than at the bottom. Additionally, the distribution of solution concentration within the crevice does not differ significantly regardless of the location of the corrosion initiation site. This potential gradient leads to an increase in the corrosion current within the crevice, which accelerates crevice corrosion. From an equipment maintenance perspective, this study suggests that crevice corrosion predominantly propagates in the direction of crevice depth near the crevice mouth. When crevice corrosion is detected, even if the crevice length is significant, propagation in the direction of crevice depth is limited near the bottom. Therefore, priority should be given to inspecting and maintaining the area near the crevice mouth.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":290,"journal":{"name":"Corrosion Science","volume":"255 ","pages":"Article 113063"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144196356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
