High hydrostatic pressure and microorganisms in deep-sea environments are significant corrosion influencing factors. Traditional deep-sea corrosion testing equipment exposes materials directly to seawater, obtaining information such as corrosion rates under the combined effects of various factors. However, it is difficult to determine the extent of microbial influence on corrosion.
