Learn how to select fasteners based on their material compatibility with the substrates to minimize galvanic corrosion. See charts for different environments and compare brass and stainless steel with other metals.
This chart shows the risk of galvanic corrosion for different metals in contact with each other. It uses green and red colors to indicate lower and higher risk, and suggests using GrabberGard® coating to minimize corrosion.
Corrosion Control - Galvanic Tables - L-36
Find various galvanic tables and series of metals in sea water and other environments from different sources. Compare the corrosion potentials and galvanic voltages of different metals and alloys and learn how to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Learn how stainless steel can corrode when in contact with other metals due to galvanic effects. This publication explains the principles, factors and examples of galvanic corrosion, and how to prevent it in different applications.
Galvanic Corrosion Chart | Industrial Metal Service
Jul 28, 2022 · Learn how to avoid galvanic corrosion, also known as dissimilar metal corrosion, with a galvanic series chart and other methods. See which metal combinations are risky and how to coat or use inhibitors to prevent corrosion.
Galvanic Series (electrochemical series) - StructX
Apr 6, 2024 · The galvanic series chart below shows metals and their electrochemical voltage range (relative activity in flowing sea water). A typical rule of thumb is that voltage differences of 0.2 Volts or more suggest a galvanic corrosion risk.
Galvanic Corrosion - PEM® Fastening Products
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 corroding effect on the one higher in the list.
Learn what galvanic corrosion is, how it occurs and how to avoid it. See the galvanic series chart for different metals and their potentials in sea water, and the factors that affect the corrosion rate.
Metal Compatibility | Galvanic Corrosion Scale - MFCP
Learn how to evaluate the susceptibility of different base metals to corrosion while in contact using the galvanic corrosion scale. See examples of metal combinations and avoid high-risk combinations such as aluminum and passivated 316 stainless steel.
closer together in the Galvanic Series Chart. When corrosion does occur, the anodic material is the most likely to corrode, whereas the cathodic material is the least likely to corrode. To reduce the likelihood of galvanic corrosion in a fastened joint, it’s recommended to choose materials that are grouped together in the Galvanic Series Chart.
