SST and Aluminum galvanic reaction?

SST and Aluminum galvanic reaction?

(OP)
Hi,
I have a sheet metal structure of 1/8" thick aluminum sheet and I want to bolt another sheet metal plate 1/8" thk. sst 304 to it. Will there be a galvanic reaction here in normal factory conditions? (No wetness or rain)

RE: SST and Aluminum galvanic reaction?

Not likely.

At the end of the day, i took no chances and used a zinc-plated steel instead of the stainless, so it is much more compatible on the chart with the aluminum!!
