The Influence of Oxygen Dissolved in Water

Oxygen dissolved in water has less influence on aluminium corrosion than on steel corrosion. It maintains corrosion by depolarisation of the cathodes, but in the case of aluminium, it also contributes to the formation of the natural oxide layer when corrosion 

Whatever the fundamental aspect of this question, experience shows that the resistance of aluminium is not directly related to the amount of oxygen dissolved in water, and that resistance does not differ significantly in aerated and deaerated water. The presence of
