GALVANICALLY GRADED INTERFACE: A COMPUTATIONAL MODEL FOR MITIGATING GALVANIC CORROSION BETWEEN MAGNESIUM AND MILD STEEL

Abstract

The impact of a graded metallic spacer on the galvanic corrosion between magnesium and mild steel is investigated in this work using a COMSOL model based on a validated numerical model. A graded spacer of 4 mm thickness decreases the peak galvanic corrosion by 50% over a system without a spacer, and 37% over a system with an aluminum spacer. The impact of the electrochemical properties of spacer materials is also investigated.
