Pitting of Stainless steel drinking water lines due to microbial influenced corrosion

Microbial influenced corrosion (MIC) is a significant issue that affects the durability of stainless steel drinking water lines. This type of corrosion occurs when microbial biofilms form on the surface of the metal, leading to an electrochemical reaction that breaks down the protective layers and can result in pitting. Stainless steel is particularly susceptible to […]
