The role of sulphate reducing bacteria in the pitting corrosion of mild steel as used for engineering infrastructure applications

本项目将提供必要的更好的理解，以改进对可能遭受点蚀恶化的基础设施的评估，包括危险材料容器、储罐、管道、海上平台和船舶。在英国和美国，人们已经提出用软钢来设计核废料容器。在某些地方，含盐的地下水可能会造成点蚀。涉及的时间跨度极长，因此必须增进了解。

The present project will provide better understanding necessary for the improved assessment of infrastructure potentially suffering pitting corrosion deterioration, including hazardous material containers, tanks, pipelines, offshore platforms and ships. Mild steel has been proposed (in the UK and USA) for the design of nuclear waste containments. In some locations the saline ground-waters may cause pitting. Extremely long time horizons are involved and hence improved understanding is important.
