    WHAT IS GALVANIC CORROSION?

    Galvanic corrosion occurs when twometals or alloys with differentelectrochemical potentials or with

    different tendencies to corrode are inmetal-to-metal contact in a corrosiveelectrolyte.

    It is a form of Wet corrosion

    Galvanic reaction is exploitedin dry cell to generate avoltage.

    Four essential things necessary for

    galvanic corrosion : - Electrolyte corrosive medium that conducts

    electricity.

    Anode

    one which is less positive or negative emfvalue.

    Cathode one which is more positive or positive

    emf value. Metallic pathway for the flow of electrons from

    anode to cathode.

    Factors affecting Galvanic Corrosion :-

    Position of metal in galvanic series

    Nature of the environment

    Area , distance and geometric effects

    Position of metal in galvanic series:-

    Further apart the metals in galvanic series, the

    greater is the chance of galvanic corrosion.

    Active metal should not be joined with the passive

    metal

    for e.g Al should not be joined with steel as Al

    being more active would tend to corrode.

    Metals selected should be close to each other in

    galvanic series to minimize galvanic corrosion

    NATURE OF ENVIRONMENT :-

    The environment surrounding the metal must be

    given due consideration.

    For e.g water containing Cu ions (seawater) forms

    galvanic cell on steel surface & if water is acidic(salt) galvanic reaction is accelerated because of

    increased ionization of electrolyte.

    In cold climate galvanic corrosion of buried materialis reduced because of increased resistivity of soil &

    in warm climate it is reversed.

    Temperature :- Galvanic corrosion increases with

    the increase in temperature

    Concentration :- Galvanic corrosion increases

    with the increase in concentration

    Oxygen Availability :- Galvanic corrosion also

    depends upon the oxygen availability & scarcity.

    Area, Distance & Geometric Effects

    :-

    10/16

    Effect of Area :- The rate of Corrosionincreases with the ratio of cathodic to anodic

    areas.

    e.g . the metal with smallest area has the largestcurrent density & is more damaged if

    corrosion occurs at it.

    Steel rivets on a copper bar submerged in 3% sodium chloride solution at the start of the experiment

    Steel rivets on a copper bar submerged in 3% sodium chloride solution after six months

    Steel rivets on a copper bar submerged in 3% sodium chloride solution after ten months

    The GALVANIC TABLE indicates that iron is anodic with respect tocopper and therefore is more rapidly corroded when placed in contactwith it. This effect is greatly accelerated if the area of the iron is small incomparison to the area of the copper, as shown below.

    However, under the reverse conditions when the area of the iron is very large

    compared to the copper, the corrosion of the iron is only slightly accelerated.

    Effect of Distance :- If two different metalsare far away from each other, there would be

    no risk of galvanic corrosion because of very

    little current flow.

    Effect of Geometry :- As current does notflow around the corners geometry of circuit

    affects the degree of galvanic corrosion. Any

    obstacle to polarization would accelerate

    galvanic corrosion.
