Random forest incorporating ab-initio calculations for corrosion rate prediction with small sample Al alloys data

Corrosion jeopardizes the materials longevity and engineering safety, hence the corrosion rate needs to be forecasted so as to better guide materials selection. Although field exposure experiments are dependable, the prohibitive cost and their time-consuming nature make it difficult to obtain large dataset for machine learning. Here, we...

Towards understanding and prediction of atmospheric corrosion of an Fe/Cu corrosion sensor via machine learning

The atmospheric corrosion of carbon steel was monitored by a Fe/Cu type galvanic corrosion sensor for 34 days. Using a random forest (RF)-based machine learning approach, the impacts of relative humidity, temperature and rainfall were identified to be higher than those of airborne particles, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide...
