摘要
Cathodic protection is the most important method used for controlling marine corrosion, and the economics of the process are most favorable when calcareous deposits form on the metal surface Films of marine bacteria were formed on stainless alloy surfaces, and the interactions between these films and calcareous deposits were investigated as a function of the applied current density. A pre-existing bacterial film made the calcareous deposit more uniform at all current densities. The combined bacterial/calcareous film acted as a beneficial diffusion barrier at high current density, but the film acted as a detrimental cathodic depolarizer, increasing the current necessary for protection at low current density. The implications for cathodic protection under various conditions are discussed.
