Abstract:The corrosion behavior of B30 Cu-Ni alloy in a sterile seawater and a SRB solution was investigated. The results show that the corrosion potential of specimen in the SRB solution is much lower than that in the sterile seawater. The polarization resistance of specimen in the SRB solution decreases quickly after a period immersion and becomes much lower than that in the sterile seawater. It is concluded that the SRB accelerates the corrosion process of B30 Cu-Ni alloy greatly. An anti-corrosion electroless Ni-P coating was produced and applied to the alloy. The results show that specimens coated with Ni-P plating exhibit favorable corrosion resistance property in SRB solution. Severe pitting corrosion appears on the uncoated specimens in the SRB solution when the coated specimens are still in good condition. The anti-corrosion mechanism of Ni-P plating was analyzed. It is concluded that coating the B30 Cu-Ni alloy with electroless Ni-P plating is an effective technique against the attack of SRB in marine environment.
Key words: Cu-Ni alloy; microbiological influenced corrosion(MIC); sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB); anti-corrosion coating; corrosion behavior
