Copper and Cupronickels

In this section, copper and cupronickels, duplex stainless steels, and concrete and their vulnerability to MIC were briefly reviewed. We showed that all of these materials are actually susceptible to microbial corrosion, and that thus there is no material that can be regarded as being conpletely safe from MIC. Chapter 9 concentrates on the treatment of MIC. [Pg.130]

Almost no engineering material is safe from or immune to microbial corrosion. In Chapter 8 the vulnerability and susceptibility of copper and cupronickels, duplex stainless steels and concrete will be discussed in a brief and informative manner. I had my reasons for picking these materials copper and its alloys have the reputation of being poisonous to micro-organisms, duplex stainless steels are known for their high resistance to corrosion thanks to their duplex microstructures of ferrite and austenite, and concrete is widely used in both the marine and water industries because of its good performance and cost effectiveness. [Pg.172]
