Reihe: Wiley Series in Corrosion

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 formation
* Causative organisms, relating bacteria and fungi to corrosionmechanisms for groups of metals
* Diagnosing and monitoring MIC
* Electrochemical techniques, with an overview of methods fordetection of MIC
* The impact of alloying elements, including antimicrobialmetals, and design features on MIC
* MIC of non-metallics
* Strategies for control or prevention of MIC, includingengineering, chemical, and biological approaches
This is a valuable, all-inclusive reference for corrosionscientists, engineers, and researchers, as well as designers,managers, and operators.
