Abstract Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to discuss the corrosion loss and morphology of the pit and rust layer of carbon steel. It was found that the corrosion process is largely influenced by the cyclic shedding of surface corrosion products, in addition to being controlled by the mechanism of oxide film shedding and pit evolution. A corrosion mechanism (the mechanism of rust layer shedding) is proposed. As a result, in this paper, the corrosion process of the test steel is simulated by the cellular automata. It was set up that the mechanism of oxide film shedding, the mechanism of pit evolution, and the mechanism of rust layer shedding in Cellular Automata Simulation. The optimal time ratio and simulation parameters were found, and a predictable cellular automata corrosion simulation model was built, providing a solution for carbon steel’s service life prediction.
