Abstract
Stainless steels (SS) are frequently used in a variety of industrial applications, where good corrosion resistance is needed. SS are usually in contact with waters of very dissimilar nature that generally, are favorable environments for microbial growth. Thus, they are susceptible to microbiologically influenced corrosion MIC (Pope et al., 1989).
