N2 - A biofilm formation was predicted by mathematically correlating data of double layer capacitance (Cdl) of the biofilm to the thickness of the biofilm formation of two metallic alloys, 1020 carbon steel (UNS G10200) and UNS Type 304 stainless steel (UNS S30400), in seawater. The correlation was derived from the dielectric constant of the formed biofilm, the dielectric constant of the seawater at two temperatures, 18 and 33 °C, the volume fraction of the seawater in the biofilm, the dielectric constant of corrosion products in the biofilm, and the volume fraction of those corrosion products in the biofilm. The biofilms were found to be nanometer scale.
