摘要

Abstract

A new research proposal was introduced aiming at solving the fundamental theory for reducing the risk of hydrogen embrittlement (HE) in high-strength steels by utilizing hydrogen-consuming microorganisms. The superior performance of high-strength steel can meet the material strength requirements for remote deep-sea marine engineering development. Due to the heavy corrosive marine environment

steel structures must be protected by cathodic protection. However

high-strength steel is sensitive to stress corrosion cracking and HE

and cathodic protection can promote hydrogen permeation into steel. Hydrogen-consuming microorganisms are widespread in the natural environment and they utilize the energy of hydrogen oxidation to survive. If we could make use of the hydrogen-consuming function of microorganisms to consume the hydrogen generated during the cathodic protection process

then the potential for cathodic protection can be reasonably lowered

ideally protecting the steel and simultaneously reducing the possibility of HE.
