The article focuses on the effects of galvanic corrosion and dissimilar metals in steel structure design. It says that utilizing two different metals in engineered coating system with the occurrence of an electrolyte will result to cathodic protection trouble. It adds that understanding the mechanisms ...
Not all metals play well together. And this spills over in to the world of electronics and the materials used therein. A relatively new and relevant example came about with the advent of RoHS and the desire to identify a "drop-in" replacement for SnPb(Ag
The meaning of GALVANIC COUPLE is a pair of dissimilar substances (as metals) capable of acting together as an electric source when brought in contact with an electrolyte.
About MIL-STD-889C – Dissimilar Metals “Scope: This standard defines and classifies dissimilar metals and establishes requirements for protecting coupled dissimilar metals against corrosion with attention directed to the anodic member of the couple.” Taken from theASSIST...
Galvanic corrosion (some times called dissimilar metal corrosion) is the process by which the materials in contact with each other oxidizes or corrodes. There are three conditions that must exist for galvanic corrosion to occur. First there must be two electrochemically dissimilar metals present. ...
Galvanic corrosion potential is a measure of how dissimilar metals will corrode when placed against each other in an assembly. Metals close to one another on the chart generally do not have a strong effect on one another, but the farther apart any two metals are separated, the stronger the ...

The chart can be used to determine the likelihood of a galvanic reaction, and galvanic corrosion or bimetallic corrosion, between two different metals in a seawater environment. The closer a metal or an alloy is in the galvanic series, the less are the effects of galvanic corrosion compared to...
Condition 1.Metals must be far apart on the galvanic series The galvanic or electrochemical series ranks metals according to their potential,generally measured with reference to the Standard Calomel Electrode (S.C.E.).The results are often viewed as a chart similar to that on the third page of...
Select metals, close together, as far as possible, in the galvanic series. (2) Do not have the area of the more active metal smaller than the area of the less active metal. (3) If dissimilar metals are to be used, insulate them. (4) Use inhibitors in aqueous systems whenever applicab...
