Galvanic corrosion is one of the most searched, discussed, and misunderstood form of corrosion.
As for other aspects of science and life in general there is always something, like galvanic corrosion, that is used to explain, justify what we don't know.
Can't sleep? It's stress. No appetite? I's stress. Headache? It's stress.... The same thing with galvanic corrosion... Rust on your car? Galvanic corrosion. Boat? Galvanic corrosion...
It is true that the mechanism of galvanic corrosion is fascinating but it cannot be the cause of all your corrosion problems..
Galvanic corrosion is a form of corrosion that can cause serious problems but it can be easily controlled and avoided following just few easy steps:
First: Assess if galvanic corrosion can be a problem:
1 be sure that there are two different metallic materials
2 be sure that there is an electrical connection between the two materials
3 be sure that there is a electrolyte, like water
If all the above are true then there is a good chance that you'll have some corrosion and the cause is: Galvanic Corrosion.
How to avoid and control GC? We will see in the second part of this post, meanwhile have a look at galvanic corrosion on corrosionist.com.
And if you have question post it in the Corrosion Forum
