A multi-disciplinary, multi-industry overview ofmicrobiologically influenced corrosion, with strategies fordiagnosis and control or prevention Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion helps engineersand scientists understand and combat the costly failures that occurdue to microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). This bookcombines recent findings from diverse disciplines into onecomprehensive reference. Complete with case histories from avariety of environments, it covers:Biofilm formationCausative organisms, relating bacteria and fungi to corrosionmechanisms for groups of metalsDiagnosing and monitoring MICElectrochemical techniques, with an overview of methods fordetection of MICThe impact of alloying elements, including antimicrobialmetals, and design features on MICMIC of non-metallicsStrategies for control or prevention of MIC, includingengineering, chemical, and biological approachesThis is a valuable, all-inclusive reference for corrosionscientists, engineers, and researchers, as well as designers,managers, and operators.
