Bronze inteaction with concrete or steel

RE: Bronze inteaction with concrete or steel
I don't expect to many problems with the concrete, but I see troubles with the steel (is it stainless or carbon steel ?) If the steel surface is more noble than the bronze, I expect that galvanic corrosion will occur, which will express itself as zinc leaching from the alloy close to the bronze/steel border. What is the ratio of the surface area of both metals ?

RE: Bronze inteaction with concrete or steel
there is a risk of galvanic corrosion of the bronze. How large are the bronze and stainless steel surfaces which are exposed to the air/liquid ?
