In this case, sacrificial anodes work as part of a galvanic couple, promoting corrosion of the anode, while protecting the cathode metal. In other cases, such as mixed metals in piping (for example, copper, cast iron and other cast metals), galvanic corrosion will contribute to accelerated corrosion of parts of the system.
The galvanic series (or electropotential series) determines the nobility of metals and semi-metals. When two metals are submerged in an electrolyte, while also electrically connected by some external conductor, the less noble (base) will experience galvanic corrosion. The rate of corrosion is determined by the electrolyte, the difference in ...
Corrosion is a natural process that converts a refined metal into a more chemically stable oxide. It is the gradual deterioration of materials (usually a metal) by chemical or electrochemical reaction with their environment. Corrosion engineering is the field dedicated to controlling and preventing corrosion. [1] [2]
Galvanic (after Luigi Galvani) may refer to: Galvanic anode; Galvanic bath; Galvanic cell; Galvanic corrosion; Galvanic current; Galvanic isolation; Galvanic potential; Galvanic series; Galvanic skin response; Galvanic vestibular stimulation; Galvanism; Galvanization; Operation Galvanic, World War II attack which included the Battle of Tarawa
This is a list of artists who were born in the Vietnam or whose artworks are closely associated with that country.. Artists are listed by field of study and then by family name in alphabetical order (review Vietnamese naming customs as the family name will display in the first name field, with exceptions including people of the diaspora), and they may be listed more than once on the list if ...

Selective corrosion on cast iron. Magnification 100x Selective corrosion on cast iron. Magnification 500x. Graphitic corrosion is selective leaching of iron, from grey cast iron, where iron is removed and graphite grains remain intact. Affected surfaces develop a layer of graphite, rust, and metallurgical impurities that may inhibit further ...
The Vietnamese Wikipedia initially went online in November 2002, with a front page and an article about the Internet Society.The project received little attention and did not begin to receive significant contributions until it was "restarted" in October 2003 [3] and the newer, Unicode-capable MediaWiki software was installed soon after.
