← HistoryWhich outcome accelerated oxidation within ancient bronze cannon barrels?
A)Galvanic corrosion from trapped saltwater
B)Differential aeration cell formation✓
C)Dezincification weakening of alloy
D)Graphitic corrosion of the casting

Differential aeration caused increased corrosion, because oxygen concentration variations induced electrochemical potential differences that accelerated oxidation at oxygen-starved regions; therefore, localized corrosion, rather than uniform corrosion, occurred.
