The oxygen creates an electrochemical reaction that causes localized corrosion. Small pits form on the metal surface, which can quickly grow deeper and more severe over time. Progressive Damage.

Connecting a more reactive metal from higher in the series protects from corrosion. A lower (less reactive) metal accepts electrons from iron and speeds up the rusting process. Since oxygen and ...

Recent studies have focused on the effects of sulfide ... generator's cooling water system revealed that oxygen and carbon dioxide leaks led to severe corrosion and system plugging.
