However, changes in structure design often necessitate reexamination test, which is both time and labor consuming. Corrosion simulation uses the finite element method or boundary element method to accurately predict the corrosion results in a relatively short time with basic electrochemistry theories, gaining favors from scholars home and abroad and finding applications in some fields in the US and European countries. This paper first focuses on the analysis of the current situation of simulation research on the common corrosion forms of aircraft at home and abroad, including galvanic corrosion, pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion. The basic theories of corrosion simulation are then summarized, with the advantages and disadvantages of the mature commercial software of corrosion simulation compared. Finally, we point out four research difficulties of corrosion simulation, including dynamic interface tracing, multi-scale and multi-physical field corrosion simulation, corrosion simulation standardization, and engineering application in the field of aviation, hoping to provide a directional reference for further exploration of corrosion simulation.
