Abstract:Microbiologically and chemically induced corrosion episodes degrade metal alloys, weaken their mechanical strengths, and lead to loss of constituent contents when these alloys interact with their surrounding environments. While metallic dental materials (e.g., stainless steel dental crowns) are highly susceptible to pitting corrosion induced by bacterial (e.g., Porphyromonas gingivalis) biofilms within the oral cavity, pipeline steels can also significantly corrode in their service environments (e.g., during s… Show more
