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

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

Worked Examples

Инпут
Zinc (anode) + steel (cathode) in seawater
Резултат
Zinc sacrificially corrodes, protecting steel (intentional use)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

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

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you prevent galvanic corrosion?

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