We develop new methods of the laboratory defectometry of biocorroded microareas in structural steels based on the quantitative analysis of variations of their roughness. We establish the influence of sulfatereducing bacteria on the microgeometry of surface topography of specimens of 17G1S-U and 20 steels. It was discovered that bacteria are accumulated in microdepressions of the surface, which leads to the formation of mucus and products of their metabolism in these domains followed by the formation of biofilms on the specimen surface. The indicated domains are subjected to the most intense corrosion influence accompanied by the formation of pitting. It was discovered that biocorrosion increases the surface roughness of the investigated steels by a factor of 4.5, which later leads to the localization of stress concentration in these domains.
