Abstract
A Scanning Auger Microprobe analysis was performed on the corrosion products of an austenitic AISI type 304 ss after a potentiostatic polarization of one volt for ten minutes in a modified Postgate s C media containing sulfate reducing bacteria. The corrosion products were characterized and mapped in local regions where pitting was observed. A critical evaluation of the applicability of this technique for the examination of microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) is presented.
