The electro-chemical voltage series is a well-known physical constant. So it is all the more inexplicable why incompatible metal pairings are so often chosen? The “sacrificial behavior” of the more noble material towards the less noble one causes even stainless steel to rust! In the presence of a liquid (electrolyte), this effect can even spread over long distances. Fretting corrosion is no less problematic and is further exacerbated by the electro-chemical relationships.
Insulation, insulation, insulation - these “three” coating factors help to solve the problem!
