Abstract

Microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC) causes the degradation of coatings and it can be attributed to either direct or indirect microbial metabolic activity. In this study, we report the ability of sulphate reducing microorganisms (SRM) and marine strain bacteria to attach onto UNS1008 carbon steel, and zinc rich epoxy coatings with a content of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) respectively. In aerobic conditions the outer layer presents a micro-crack appearance and many semisphere products, attributed to spore formation. In anaerobic conditions, evidence of iron sulphide surrounded by a mixture of sulphur-containing extracellular polymer substance was observed by SEM images and EDS analysis. The presence of hybrid coatings (Zn rich epoxy with CNT content) affected the level of microbial adherence and the concentration of corrosion products (Fe2O3, Fe(OH)2, FeS); the cell attachment was lower when the steel surface was coated with Zn/CNTs.
