Bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms can play a major part in soil corrosion. Spectacularly rapid corrosion failures have been observed in soil due to microbial action and it is becoming increasingly apparent that most metallic <a href="../MatSelect/corralloys.htm"> alloys</a> are susceptible to some form of MIC ... and much more!!</p> <p>If you are viewing this text, your browser lacks the ability to read frames.
