What is MIC corrosion?
The abbreviation MIC stands for the English term Microbiologically Induced (or Influenced) Corrosion or microbiologically induced corrosion or corrosion that occurs as a result of bacteria. It is a chemical process in which the waste products of the ‘critters’ cause metal corrosion. Rust is a form of corrosion. Rusting is specifically the oxidation of iron due to oxygen and water. In short, rust is corrosion, but corrosion is not always rust or oxidation.
