A: Harrison McCampbell a forensic architect from Brentwood Tenn responds: When different types of metal come into direct contact with one another you're setting the table for possible corrosion between the two

Galvanic Corrosion

Though both parts are made from aluminum the specific alloys are different and thus the two pieces have a different electrical potential making them susceptible to galvanic corrosion A good example is this close-up photo of a Catalina 27 masthead The clevis pins have welded themselves into place due to galvanic corrosion

How to Prevent Galvanic Corrosion

Steps to Prevent Galvanic Corrosion The most common ways to prevent galvanic corrosion include: Electrically insulate the dissimilar metals using a brass nipple or other dielectric fitting (plastic in some applications) between the materials A coat of grease and pipe tape can help to insulate steel and aluminum parts
