Reply to comment by mophest0 in Does galvanic corrosion take place when aluminum bronze is in contact with steel? by UserNo485929294774

It also depends on the contact arrangement and relative component sizes of the two metals, and there is a lot of complexity with corrosion locality. Wide area corrosion is often acceptable at low rates depending on the application, but even small amounts of highly localized corrosion can be structurally devastating.

Exactly.Working with marine environments. It's a major factor when selecting fasteners. You don't want the fastener corroding sacrificially to the plate. Ya know?
