Material Processing Using Microorganisms

The possibilities for developing a new type of material processing using a microbiogenic function are investigated with a microbial corrosion test of metals under the sea. The behavior of microorganisms in the corrosion of metals (mild steel, copper and aluminum sheets) is examined, and their action on these metals is discussed. As a result, three processing methods (biomachining, biodeposition and biorecycling) are proposed and discussed.
