RE: [DML] Custom Made Gas-Flap door



Aluminum and SS are relatively far apart in the Galvanic Series, which means
that there is a good potential for high galvanic cell voltage.  Of course,
for this to be a problem, you need an electrolyte between the metals.
Unless it is submerged or lives in a very humid climate, it shouldn't be a
problem.  If galvanic corrosion does occur, the aluminum will be the anode
so the SS will not be harmed.

Al (no VIN...just lurking!)

Interesting concept.  I noted that the flaps shown all appear to be aluminum
so that brings up another issue for me.

Can anyone give me a definitive answer with respect to (and I may be stating
this wrong here but it's the best I can do) dissimilar metal galvanic
corrosion between stainless and aluminum?

Is it a problem or not?
