Abstract
The last 25 years have seen a number of significant advances in the understanding of microbially induced corrosion. Developments in corrosion theory and microbiology have been brought together to explain the anaerobic corrosion of iron and carbon steel in electrochemical terms. Accelerated pitting of stainless steels associated with micro-organisms has been described and the mechanisms substantially elucidated. Practical techniques for monitoring and control of microbiological activity in industrial systems have become more sophisticated, especially biofilm monitoring. The advances in the above areas have been outlined in this paper together with other fields in which, curiously, little progress has been made in recent years.
