Galvanic corrosion occurs when dissimilar metals contact in electrolyte; more active metal (anode) corrodes preferentially.

Guide étape par étape

  1. 1Input two metals and galvanic series position
  2. 2Calculate galvanic potential
  3. 3Determine which metal corrodes and rate

Exemples résolus

Entrée
Zinc (anode) + steel (cathode) in seawater
Résultat
Zinc sacrificially corrodes, protecting steel (intentional use)

Erreurs courantes à éviter

  • Assuming only one metal corrodes (wrong)
  • Not understanding sacrificial anode concept

Questions fréquentes

How do you prevent galvanic corrosion?

Use same metal, isolate with non-conductive gasket, or apply protective coating.
