Effect of chloride ions on the corrosion behavior of carbon steel in an iron bacteria system
Ping Xu, Meihui Zhao, Xue Fu, Chen Zhao
Abstract
In the early stage, Cl − destroys the corrosion product film and promotes localized corrosion. In the later stage, a high concentration of Cl − accelerates biofilm growth and densifies the corrosion product layer, thereby inhibiting corrosion.
