An advanced model is developed to elucidate relationship between availability of oxygen and active corrosion, considering the equilibrium between gaseous and dissolved oxygen, as well as the equilibrium of oxygen diffusion and consumption. This research notably incorporates self-regulation mechanisms of cathodes and anodes in both macrocell and microcell corrosion. Accelerated corrosion experiments were performed under simulated marine environment, monitoring variations in corrosive medium concentration and electrochemical corrosion processes. Results indicate significant reduction in oxygen concentration following the activation of rebar. Potential inaccuracies in predicting corrosion rate arise from the adoption of a static cathodic to anodic area ratio was highlighted.
