Evolution with time of the "rust-biomass composite layer" during the first stages of marine corrosion of carbon steel

Puntos clave

• The rust-biomass composite layer evolves significantly during initial stages of marine corrosion.
• Key evidence shows the composite's properties change with time, impacting corrosion rates.
• Observational analysis across marine environments highlights various stages of carbon steel's degradation.
• Understanding these layers may inform strategies to combat corrosion in marine applications.
