Abstract
The corrosion behaviour of API X70 immersed in a specific medium with a strain of thermophilic sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) was analysed. Anaerobic corrosion test was carry out for 32 days at 50βΒ°C. During the exposure time, pH, sulphate (SO) and hydrogen sulphide (H~2~S) concentration were measured. Corrosion potential, linear polarization resistance and potentiodynamic polarization curve were used in order to get the influence of the SRB in the corrosion phenomenon. Scanning electron microscopy was used to determine corrosion morphology. Results show that the SRB activity influenced the overall corrosion process. The anodic branches in the polarization curves show a passivity feature, whereas, the cathodic branches were not affected. A localized corrosion attack was found.

## Abstract The effect of sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) upon the cathodic protection of XL 52 steel was determined, in order to identify if the potential value of β0.950βV __versus__ copper/copper sulfate electrode is good enough to protect the metal surface. During the experiments, different ope

## Abstract Hyperduplex UNS S32707 is a newly developed austeniticβferritic stainless steel. The steel contains about 27%Cr, 7%Ni, 4.5%Mo, and 0.4%N, which results in a pitting resistance equivalent factor (PRE) equal to 49. In this study, the pitting corrosion resistance of this new grade of stain
