RE: Electrolysis
1. The difference in the materials.
2. The conductivity of the environment.
3. The relative amounts of the metals.
If you are in clean low conductivity water and you have a lot more CS than SS there is little chance of problems. If you have higher conductivity and relativly little steel, then you will have issues.
