Effect of marine microbial activity in corrosion inhibition of 5083 aluminium alloy [Comunicação oral]

ABSTRACT: Microbiologically influenced corrosion inhibition (MICI), can be considered as a new environmentally friendly strategy for corrosion inhibition. Nevertheless, at present, most of the findings in MICI research are obtained under optimized laboratory conditions, generally involving a single microorganism. To upgrade the knowledge in this research field and increase the potential applications, more studies under real conditions are needed, since environmental complexity and biological diversity coexist in field environments impacting the corrosion process of metal surfaces. In this context, one of the main objectives of the MICOATEC project (“New concept of Microbially Inspired anticorrosion coating technology”) is to understand the microbially induced formation of a protective layer on the Al-Mg surface during exposure in marine field. The present work is part of this study.N/
