Dissimilar metals will corrode in the presence of an electrolyte. When two different types of metals are in contact with each other in the presence of an electrolyte, such as water with dissolved salts, it creates a galvanic cell. This results in one metal acting as an anode (which will corrode) and the other as a cathode. The electrolyte facilitates the flow of ions, thus accelerating the corrosion process. Therefore, when preventing galvanic corrosion, it is important to isolate dissimilar metals from each other and to minimize their exposure to moisture and electrolytic substances.
