Forms and Causes of Galvanic Corrosions in the Coastal Environment

Abstract

PURPOSE: To outline the forms and causes of galvanic corrosiop in the coastal environment. DEFINITION: "Galvanic corrosion" is the accelerated corrosion of a metal due to electrical contact with a more passive metal. CORROSION MECHANISM: Galvanic corrosion is a classical example of the electro-chemical clel in action.
