The study systematically investigated the impact of zinc sacrificial anode(Zn-SA)cathode protection on the corrosion of X80 steel caused by Desulfovibrio desulfuricans(D.desulfuricans)in a marine tidal environment.Utilizing weight-loss analysis,electrochemical measurements,Raman spectroscopy,and 3D morphology microscopy,the research unveiled significant findings.Unprotected steel suffered pronounced localized corrosion in the presence of D.desulfuricans in the marine tidal environment.However,the implementation of Zn-SA cathode protection notably reduced the activity of both planktonic and sessile D.desulfuricans cells.Over time,the accumulation of calcareous deposits within the corrosion products increased,as evidenced by a rise in the resistance of the corrosion produt film(Rf).Remarkably,Zn-SA cathode protection demonstrated substantial inhibition of the steel's corrosion rate,albeit exhibiting reduced efficiency as the vertical height of the steel within the tidal environment increased.
