Galvanic Corrosion The Galvanic Series and what it means for you. - What you may or may not know is that not all metals are compatible. Metals find their place on a chart called the ‘Galvanic Series’ or ‘Electro-potential Series’ which outlines them from most noble to least noble. ...
Galvanic corrosion is sometimes used to extend the life of materials such as zinc coatings on carbon steel and zinc anodes in water heaters. However if not considered, it can lead to unexpected failures. Requirements for Galvanic Corrosion In order for galvanic corrosion to occur, three elements ...
Galvanic series chart shows metals and their electrochemical voltage range (relative activity in flowing sea water) Corrosion rate Corrosion rate can be defined as the speed at which any metal in a specific environment deteriorates. Life prediction of steel in water is challenging for existing struct...

Since the tin and copper are located very close to each other, they are considered to be a compatible couple and we would not expect galvanic corrosion to occur between the copper braid and the tin plated terminal. However, from the same chart, we can see that copper and stainless steel ...
Quality engineering and design requires an understanding of material compatibility. 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 c
