Joining dissimilar metals improves quality and durability with measures against galvanic corrosion.

【Quality UP】The joints of dissimilar metals have improved durability with anti-electrolysis measures!

Electrolytic corrosion is a phenomenon that promotes rust and significantly impairs durability. When assembling different metals, it is important to be cautious of electrolytic corrosion. If no countermeasures are taken, rust will occur on the contact surfaces more quickly than usual, and the greater the potential difference between the different metals, the more likely electrolytic corrosion is to be promoted. In the assembly of sheet metal, typical combinations include "aluminum + iron," "aluminum + stainless steel," and "iron + aluminum." Applying paint or surface treatment to the materials is one common and cost-effective countermeasure. 【Countermeasures】 ■ Insert insulating material at the contact points ■ Apply paint or surface treatment to the materials ■ Change to a non-conductive material *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
