Corrosion Acceleration of Printed Circuit Boards With an Immersion Silver Layer Exposed to Bacillus cereus in an Aerobic Medium

In this research, the corrosion behavior of printed circuit boards with an immersion silver layer (PCB-ImAg) exposed to Bacillus cereus bacteria in Luria-Bertani broth was investigated. The growth test demonstrated that B. cereus had a high copper tolerance. Analysis of surface and cross-sectional v...

Sumario:In this research, the corrosion behavior of printed circuit boards with an immersion silver layer (PCB-ImAg) exposed to Bacillus cereus bacteria in Luria-Bertani broth was investigated. The growth test demonstrated that B. cereus had a high copper tolerance. Analysis of surface and cross-sectional view of the samples after immersion test indicated that metabolites produced by B. cereus accelerated the microporous corrosion of PCB-ImAg, and the biofilm that adhered to the surface led to oxygen concentration corrosion. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests confirmed that the microbiologically influenced corrosion of PCB-ImAg was related to the biofilm formation and metabolism.
