Cover: The effect of the presence of redox active molecules during a mild anodic polarization of AISI 304 stainless steels was studied with a focus on corrosion and microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) processes. The two‐part publication demonstrates that the presence of minute amounts of flavins in the preconditioning medium is capable of altering the pit nucleation processes (Part I) and promotes subsequent biofilm formation (Part II). Unexpectedly, biofilms formed on surfaces preconditioned in the presence of flavins led to corrosion inhibition.
