Abstract

The effects of alternating current (AC) and Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) on the stress corrosion behavior and mechanism of X80 pipeline steel were investigated in a Beijing soil solution in this study. Both AC and B. cereus can promote the generation of pits in X80 steel. B. cereus is a type of nitrate-reducing bacteria and hence nitrate reduction occurs at the bottom of the corrosion product film or the biofilm. Meanwhile, the anode accelerates the dissolution of X80 steel and generates some pits in the local working area. The synergistic effect of AC and nitrate- reducing bacteria (NRB) promotes X80 steel corrosion and increases its susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking (SCC).
