Abstract
The antibacterial performance and marine microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) resistance of a novel copper-containing nickel-free high‑nitrogen stainless steel (HNS) against marine Pseudomonas aeruginosa were studied. The electrochemical tests indicated that the copper content (0, 2 and 4 wt%) would hardly affect the corrosion resistance of HNS in abiotic simulated seawater. In the presence of bacteria, HNS-4Cu showed the best MIC resistance, while MIC rates of HNS-0Cu and HNS-2Cu were comparatively faster. Addition of 4 wt% copper significantly improved the antibacterial effect and the quality of the passive film of HNS, achieving a better MIC resistance.
