GALVANIC SERIES
Changein environment?
A new series should be established.
- Complexing ions, pH, temperature, velocity ..
- Potential (SCE) of high-alloy STS in sea water
(SW)
Deaerated SW: -450 mV
SW with 200 ppb O2: -100 mV
Hot SW: 100 mV
Natural, aerated SW: 300 mV
Chlorinated SW: 600 mV

Galvanic Corrosion by Potential Reversal
bicarbonate, nitrate
sulfate
phosphate
Galvanic Corrosion by Copper Deposition
Contact corrosion
Deposition corrosion
Cathodic contamination of anode via deposition of more noble
metals or metal oxides
Reversal of potential
Thermogalvanic corrosion
Preferential attack at the hot area when metal is subjected to a
thermal gradient.
GALVANIC CORROSION CELL
Weld metal, bolts & nuts, rivets should be more noble than the
substrate
