Replication Data for: The effect of bird droppings on the corrosion of steels and aluminium used in offshore applications

Bird dropping (bird faeces) in contact with metals may affect the corrosion of these metals when exposed to a certain environment. This dataset contains the experimental characterisation of the effect chicken excrements have on a carbon steel, AISI316 stainless steel, duplex stainless steel, super duplex stainless steel, a carbon steel coated with thermally sprayed aluminium (TSA) and aluminium EN AW6082. The following experimental results are included in this dataset: (i) results of electrochemical experiments (open circuit potential measurements, polarisation resistance measurements, cathodic and anodic polarisation curves in the presence and absence of bird droppings) in an electrolyte close to synthetic seawater but without some minor components, at pH 8.9; (ii) photos of samples before and after different exposures in a salt spray chamber; (iii) images of samples after exposure to a salt spray test for given times up to 692 h (29 days); (iv) Raman spectra recorded in a confocal microscope after exposure to a salt spray test; and (v) infrared (IR) spectra recorded after exposure to a salt spray test. In addition, (vi) the study also contains mass loss (weight loss) data, which is in full included in the supporting information of the accompanying article, because of its simplicity, and is not included here. The dataset contains ASCII files and images in JPEG and PNG formats with descriptive filenames and is structured in subfolders indicating the respective methods. A detailed interpretation of the results, and the experimental details associated with the dataset is available in the associated article.

当鸟类粪便（bird faeces）与金属接触并处于特定环境中时，可能会对该金属的腐蚀过程产生影响。本数据集针对鸡粪对多种金属的腐蚀影响开展了实验表征，涉及的材料包括碳钢、AISI316不锈钢、双相不锈钢、超级双相不锈钢、热喷涂铝（thermally sprayed aluminium, TSA）涂层碳钢以及铝合金EN AW6082。
本数据集包含如下实验结果：(i) 电化学实验结果：在pH为8.9、接近合成海水但不含部分微量组分的电解质溶液中，开展的开路电位测试、极化电阻测试，以及存在与不存在鸟类粪便时的阴极和阳极极化曲线测试结果；(ii) 盐雾箱内不同暴露时长前后的试样照片；(iii) 盐雾试验时长最长达692小时（即29天）的试样后处理图像；(iv) 盐雾试验后通过共聚焦显微镜采集的拉曼光谱；(v) 盐雾试验后采集的红外（IR）光谱。
此外，该研究还包含质量损失（失重）数据，但因该数据形式较为简单，已全部收录于随附文章的补充材料中，故未包含在本数据集内。
本数据集包含ASCII文件以及JPEG、PNG格式的图像，所有文件均采用描述性文件名，并按照对应测试方法划分子文件夹进行组织。关于本数据集相关实验细节以及结果的详细解读，请参阅随附的相关研究文章。
