This paper presents an experimental study of biocorrosion of D16T and AMg6 aluminum alloys. The determining role of reactive oxygen species in aluminum biocorrosion by a consortium of molds has been shown. A model is proposed, according to which the initiators of corrosion damage to the metal surface are superoxide anion radical and hydrogen peroxide released during the life of micromycetes. It is assumed that the initiation and development of biocorrosion occurs, among other things, as a result of the process of reductive activation of oxygen and the Fenton decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. A conclusion is made about the mechanism of the occurrence of intergranular and pitting corrosion of aluminum alloys interacting with microscopic fungi.
