Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of the marine economy and the deepening of marine development, marine engineering equipment and offshore platforms are gradually expanding. The marine environment is a harsh corrosive environment, and marine corrosion may lead to the degradation and failure of marine engineering structures, and may even cause safety accidents. Effective anti-corrosion measures must be taken to ensure the long-term stable operation of marine engineering equipment and facilities, with the aim of extending their service life and improving safety performance.

Based on the above background, this Special Issue focuses on the latest progress in the corrosion and protection of marine environments, including the following research directions: corrosion mechanisms of metals in marine environments, corrosion monitoring and detection, the development of new corrosion-resistant materials, and protective coatings. The proposal of this Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers in the field of marine environmental corrosion and protection, report on their latest high-quality progress, and highlight possible future directions according to their professional insights.

Microorganisms that exist in the seawater form microbial biofilms on materials used in marine construction, especially on metal surfaces submerged in seawater, where they form biofilms and cause severe corrosion. Biofilms are mainly composed of bacteria and their secreted polymeric substances. In order to understand how biofilms promote metal corrosion, planktonic and biofilm cells of Desulfovibrio bizertensis SY-1 (D. bizertensis) from Q235 steel were collected and analyzed as to their intracellular proteome and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). The intracellular proteome analysis showed that the cellular proteins were strongly regulated in biofilm cells compared to planktonic cells, e.g., along with flagellar proteins, signaling-related proteins were significantly increased, whereas energy production and conversion proteins and DNA replication proteins were significantly regulated. The up-and-down regulation of proteins revealed that biofilm formation by bacteria on metal surfaces is affected by flagellar and signaling proteins. A significant decrease in DNA replication proteins indicated that DNA is no longer replicated and transcribed in mature biofilms, thus reducing energy consumption. Quantitative analysis and lectin staining of the biofilm on the metal’s surface revealed that the bacteria secreted a substantial amount of EPS when they began to attach to the surface, and proteins dominated the main components of EPS. Further, the infrared analysis showed that the secondary structure of the proteins in the EPS of the biofilm was mainly dominated by β-sheet and 3-turn helix, which may help to enhance the adhesion of EPS. The functional groups of EPS analyzed using XPS showed that the C element of EPS in the biofilm mainly existed in the form of combinations with N. Furthermore, the hydroxyl structure in the EPS extracted from the biofilm had a stronger hydrogen bonding effect, which could maintain the stability of the EPS structure and biofilm. The study results revealed that D. bizertensis regulates the metabolic pathways and their secreted EPS structure to affect biofilm formation and cause metal corrosion, which has a certain reference significance for the study of the microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) mechanism.

In this study, we optimized the traditional composition of AISI 8630 steel and evaluated its corrosion resistance through a series of tests. We conducted corrosion tests in a 3.5% NaCl solution and performed a 720 h fixed-load tensile test in accordance with the NACE TM-0177-2016 standard to assess sulfide stress corrosion cracking (SSCC). To analyze the corrosion products and the structure of the corrosion film, we employed X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The corrosion rate, characteristics of the corrosion products, structure of the corrosion film, and corrosion resistance mechanism of the material were investigated. The results indicate that the optimized AISI 8630 material demonstrates excellent corrosion resistance. After 720 h of exposure, the primary corrosion products were identified as chromium oxide, copper sulfide, iron oxide, and iron–nickel sulfide. The corrosion film exhibited a three-layer structure: the innermost layer with a thickness of 200–300 nm contained higher concentrations of alloying elements and formed a dense, cohesive rust layer that hindered the diffusion of oxygen and chloride ions, thus enhancing corrosion resistance. The middle layer was thicker and less rich in alloying elements, while the outer layer, approximately 300–400 nm thick, was relatively loose. Full article
