Scope
The primary objectives of this guideline are to present a standard method for avoiding galvanic corrosion in the design stage, to present a standard method for determining whether actual corrosion damage was caused by galvanic corrosion, and to present a guideline for standard methods for suppressing galvanic corrosion.
This guideline includes a method for analysis and prediction of galvanic corrosion in environments, not only solution such as water but also atmospheric and soil, by numerical calculation based on polarization data.
This guideline does not establish the grounds for indexes related to the safety or loss of functions of materials in actual use. However, it is possible to use this guideline to estimate the function maintenance life and safety maintenance life of the said materials in advance; the responsibility for using the guideline rests with the reader.
