Induction of pitting corrosion on stainless steel (grades 304 and 316) used in dairy industry by biofilms of common sporeformers

Abstract: This study hypothesised that there may be induction of pitting corrosion or microbially‐induced corrosion on stainless steel (SS) dairy‐processing surfaces by biofilms of common milk sporeformers such as Bacillus sporothermodurans and Geobacillus stearothermophilus. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and micrographs generated from energy‐dispersive spectroscopy were used to observe pitting corrosion and to find the elemental composition and distribution on the control and pitted surfaces. From SEM images and e… Show more

“…As a result of the minimisation or complete removal of stains and small scratches, electropolishing makes it possible to highlight the surface gloss. Stainless steel corrosion can also occur much faster than expected in certain types of environment in pharmaceutical manufacturing 15 and in other industries 16 , 17 . Insidious corrosion, or corrosion that occurs in localized environments rather than generalized corrosion, can be extremely destructive because it is difficult to detect.…”

“…The propensity of stainless steels to pitting corrosion in chloridecontaining environments is still a concern in several industrial applications. [1][2][3] Passivation is a widespread method for improving the corrosion resistance of these materials, by removing anodic surface contaminants or thickening the passive film. 4,5 Nitric acid passivation is the traditional route toward this goal, being set out as part of postmanufacturing needs for stainless steel devices in the aircraft, aerospace, and biomedical industries.…”
