TL;DR: Among the specimens with different microstructures, the sensitized specimens had the highest bacterial density, followed by the solution annealed and the oxidized specimens, according to the total viable counts on the various surfaces, estimated by a plate count technique.

TL;DR: The influence of biofilms formed by microorganisms on the corrosion behavior of stainless steel (SS) in various fresh water environments was studied using electrochemical techniques in this paper, where an algal-dominated biofilm was found to initiate localised corrosion of the substrate due to the heterogeneities in the biofilm, creating anodes and cathodes.

TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of various techniques for the assessment and quantification of sensitisation in AISI Type 316L welds was discussed, and the possibility of using eddy current testing (ECT) to detect sensitisation and intergranular corrosion was also assessed.
