Galvanic corrision betwen brass and galvanized steel
Galvanic corrision betwen brass and galvanized steel
(OP)
G’day,
Can anyone tell me if it is practically acceptable to use brass and galvanized steel fittings in contact with each other, or will this lead to excessive galvanic corrosion? The fluid passing through the fittings is water and it is not a particularly corrosive atmosphere (coal prep plant)
Thanks
