Microbiologically influenced corrosion of titanium caused by aerobic marine bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is a big threat to the strength and safety of many metallic materials used in different environments throughout the world. The metabolites and bioactivity of the microorganisms cause severe deterioration on the metals. In this study, MIC of pure titanium (Ti) was studied in the presence of a highly corrosive aerobic marine bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The results obtained from electrochemical...
