How It Works

Calculate galvanic corrosion rate for dissimilar metal couples using EMF series potentials, area ratio, and electrolyte conductivity. Predict accelerated corrosion of the anodic metal and cathodic protection of the more noble metal

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • EMF series potentials — The emf series potentials recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Area ratio — The area ratio recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Electrolyte conductivity — The electrolyte conductivity recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the galvanic corrosion rate result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the EMF series potentials, area ratio, electrolyte conductivity for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate galvanic corrosion rate for dissimilar metal couples using EMF series potentials, area ratio, and electrolyte conductivity. Predict accelerated corrosion of the anodic metal and cathodic protection of the more noble metal. Use the galvanic corrosion rate result to inform your calculation.
