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

ଷ୍ଟେପ୍-ଷ୍ଟେପ୍ ଗାଇଡ୍ |

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

ସମାଧାନ ହୋଇଥିବା ଉଦାହରଣ

ଇନପୁଟ୍
Zinc (anode) + steel (cathode) in seawater
ଫଳ
Zinc sacrificially corrodes, protecting steel (intentional use)

ଏଡ଼ାଇବା ଯୋଗ୍ୟ ସାଧାରଣ ଭୁଲ

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

ବାରମ୍ବାର ଜିଜ୍ଞାସା

How do you prevent galvanic corrosion?

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