Weathering steel in contact with galvanized components
Weathering steel in contact with galvanized components
(OP)
When detailing an uncoated weathering steel structure, are there problems associated with placing galvanized components (i.e. diaphragms, bridge drains, bolts, etc) in direct contact with the uncoated weathering steel?
I seem to think there will be some amount of galvanic action between the two components, or that the zinc on the galvanized component will be sacraficed at an accelerated rate. Any thoughts?
Thanks.
