Corrosion mechanisms, a the formation of nascent inorganic corrosion film and the organic conditioning film with pioneering bacterial attachment; b maturing corrosion film with inhibited biofilm growth and colonisation due to biocidal activity; c moderate uniform and pitting corrosion under patchy corrosion deposits, with increasing granular deposits, as well as patchy biofilm due to biocidal activity.
