Galvanic corrosion occurs when two different metals are in contact with each other, and one has a lower electrical charge than the other. Pitting corrosion is a more localized corrosion that usually occurs on smooth, flat surfaces. While corrosion is an ongoing problem for aluminum, you can easily prevent it with a few helpful tips and …

By EngineerExcel. Galvanic corrosion describes a process in which two (or more) dissimilar metals are used together, resulting in a corrosive process. A common application that may experience galvanic corrosion is using an attachment, such as a bolt, that is of a different metal than the primary structure, such as a beam.

The most important factor in atmospheric corrosion, overriding pollution or lack of it, is moisture, either in the form of rain, dew, condensation, or high relative humidity (RH). In the absence of moisture, most contaminants would have little or no corrosive effect. Rain also may have a beneficial effect in washing away atmospheric pollutants ...

2.1. Procedure. To examine the effect of particle size on the magnitude of corrosion rate the two coal types (A and B) were each sieved to three different size fractions, 0–600, 600–1180 and 1180–2360 μm. The iron ore was sieved only to a size fraction of 600–1180 μm. Mild steel specimens were cut to 45×47.5×1.6 mm and exposed …

The corrosion potential and the galvanic series are related to the electrochemical reactions that occur when a metal corrodes in an electrolyte. When a metal corrodes, it undergoes an anodic reaction where metal atoms separate into ions and electrons. For example, in the case of iron (Fe), the anodic reaction is: Fe → Fe2+ + 2e−.

4.05.3 Pitting Corrosion. Pitting corrosion occurrence has several similarities to TGSCC, that is, it requires oxidizing conditions and presence of water with harmful ions, such as chlorides, fluorides, sulfates, and/or copper, but no stress is needed. The Type 304 stainless steel is more prone to pitting corrosion than Type 316 stainless steel.

The "galvanized" part of galvanized steel is just a thin coating of zinc on top of the steel that gives itself up to corrosion, therefore protecting the steel below. This method is more effective than many other protective coatings. Even if the coating were to be scratched or compromised, the steel below would be protected by the zinc and ...
