Sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) as the main source of Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) mechanism has a dominant influence upon localized corrosion problems especially for internal piping. In this paper, corrosion behavior of high-strength carbon steel (API 5L X-70) under anaerobic condi...
