9、. Significance and Use4.1 When two dissimilar metals in electrical contact areexposed to a common electrolyte, one of the metals canundergo increased corrosion while the other can show de-creased corrosion.This type of accelerated corrosion is referredto as galvanic corrosion. Because galvanic corro
10、sion can occurat a high rate, it is important that a means be available to alertthe user of products or equipment that involve the use ofdissimilar metal combinations in an electrolyte of the possibleeffects of galvanic corrosion.4.2 One method that is used to predict the effects of galvaniccorrosio
11、n is to develop a galvanic series by arranging a list ofthe materials of interest in order of observed corrosion poten-tials in the environment and conditions of interest. The metalthat will suffer increased corrosion in a galvanic couple in thatenvironment can then be predicted from the relative po
12、sition ofthe two metals in the series.4.3 Types of Galvanic Series:4.3.1 One type of Galvanic Series lists the metals of interestin order of their corrosion potentials, starting with the mostactive (electronegative) and proceeding in order to the mostnoble (electropositive). The potentials themselve
13、s (versus anappropriate reference half-cell) are listed so that the potentialdifference between metals in the series can be determined. Thistype of Galvanic Series has been put in graphical form as aseries of bars displaying the range of potentials exhibited bythe metal listed opposite each bar. Suc
14、h a series is illustrated inFig. 1.4.3.2 The second type of galvanic series is similar to the firstin that it lists the metals of interest in order of their corrosionpotentials.

Thus, only the relative position of materials in theseries is known and not the magnitude of their potentialdifference. Such a series is shown in Fig. 2.4.4 Use of a Galvan
17、ic Series:4.4.1 Generally, upon coupling two metals in the GalvanicSeries, the more active (electronegative) metal will have atendency to undergo increased corrosion while the more noble(electropositive) metal will have a tendency to undergo re-duced corrosion.4.4.2 Usually, the further apart two me
18、tals are in the series,and thus the greater the potential difference between them, thegreater is the driving force for galvanic corrosion. All otherNOTEDark boxes indicate active behavior of active-passive alloys.FIG. 1 Galvanic Series of Various Metals in Flowing Seawater at 2.4 to 4.0 m/s for 5 to

Precautions in the Use of a Galvanic Series5.1 The galvanic s
20、eries should not be confused with theelectromotive force series, which, although of a similar appear-ance to the galvanic series, is based on standard electrodepo-tentials of elements and not on corrosion potentials of metals.The electromotive force series should not be used for galvaniccorrosion pr
21、ediction.5.2 Each series is specific to the environment for which itwas compiled. For example, a series developed in a flowingambient temperature seawater should not be used to predict theperformance of galvanic couples in fresh water or in heatedseawater.5.3 Corrosion potentials can change with tim
22、e and theenvironment. These changes can affect the potential differencebetween the metals of interest and, in some cases, can reverserelative positions. It is thus imperative that the series used forthe prediction be obtained under similar conditions of exposureduration and electrolyte composition a
23、s the situation beingpredicted.5.4 Galvanic corrosion can occur between two identicalmaterials in different environments. The galvanic series gen-erated herein cannot be applied to this situation.5.5 Use of a galvanic series provides qualitative predictionof galvanic corrosion. It should not be used
24、 for quantitativepredictions of galvanic corrosion rate. A more precise determi-nation of the effect of galvanic coupling can be obtained by themeasurement of the corrosion currents involved as outlined inGuide G 71.3,45.6 Some published Galvanic Series, such as those in Fig. 15and 2, consider the p
25、ossibility of there being more than onepotential range for the same material, depending on whetherthe material is in the active or the passive state. Knowledge ofconditions affecting passivity of these materials is necessary todetermine which potential range to use in a particular applica-tion.5.7 G
26、alvanic corrosion behavior is affected by many factorsbesides corrosion potentials. These factors must also be con-sidered in judging the performance of a galvanic couple. Theyinclude, but are not limited to, the following:5.7.1 Anode-to-cathode area ratio,5.7.2 Electrolyte conductivity,5.7.3 Distan
27、ce between coupled metals,5.7.4 Shielding of metal surfaces by marine growth, sedi-ments, and so forth,5.7.5 Localized electrolyte concentration changes inshielded areas, and5.7.6 Polarization characteristics of the metals involved.5.8 Some materials that are subject to chemical attack inalkaline so
28、lutions may suffer increased attack when made thecathode in a galvanic couple due to generation of hydroxyl ionsby the cathodic reaction. Use of a galvanic series will notpredict this behavior.5.9 A more detailed discussion of the theory of galvaniccorrosion prediction is presented inAppendix X1 and
29、 inASTMSTP 576.46. Development of a Galvanic Series6.1 The development of a Galvanic Series may be dividedinto several steps. First is the selection of the environment andconditions of interest. During the exposures, the environmentand conditions should be as close as possible to serviceconditions.
