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

本项目将更好地了解对可能遭受点蚀恶化的基础设施（包括危险材料容器、储罐、管道、海上平台和船舶）的改进评估所必需的信息。（在英国和美国）已建议使用低碳钢设计核废料容器。在一些地方，含盐的地下水可能会造成点蚀。这涉及到极长的时间跨度，因此增进理解是很重要的。

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.
