摘要

Crevice corrosion is a critical degradation mechanism for stainless steels in aggressive service environments, governed by highly nonlinear interactions between material and environmental stressors. Traditional predictive frameworks, relying heavily on empirical formulas or isolated electrochemical parameters, often fail to capture these complex coupling effects, limiting their utility for generalized risk assessment. This study establishes a robust explainable machine learning framework based on 333 curated experimental points to develop a classification model for predicting crevice corrosion. Among five supervised learning algorithms, the random forest classifier exhibited superior performance, achieving a prediction accuracy of 0.96 and exceptional stability. Beyond prediction, SHapley additive explanations and a novel environmental severity index (ESI) are employed to elucidate underlying mechanisms, revealing a critical nonlinear threshold effect. The analysis demonstrates that in non-mild environments (ESI > 0.3), the marginal benefit of the pitting resistance equivalent number for corrosion inhibition diminishes sharply. This finding quantitatively identifies environmental management as more decisive than material upgrades under high-risk conditions. Finally, 3D probability contour maps are generated to provide engineers with a quantitative tool for material selection and failure prevention.
