According to the results, increased temperature, RH, and NaCl deposition increased the liquid film thickness. Furthermore, the liquid film thickness increased exponentially with increasing RH under the same temperature and NaCl deposition conditions. Surface fitting of the obtained liquid film thickness data yielded a fitting calculation formula for the adsorbed liquid film thickness on copper surfaces under typical atmospheric temperature conditions (25–45 °C). In addition, artificial neural networks (ANNs) and support vector machine models were constructed based on machine learning methods for predicting liquid film thickness. Comparative results indicated that the ANN prediction model exhibited higher accuracy, with a model determination coefficient (<em>R</em><sup>2</sup>) reaching 0.99. Validation by comparing measured and predicted values under typical conditions for liquid film thickness showed that the machine learning-based prediction error was approximately 9.7%.
