and salt-spray corrosion is facilitated, by the easy access of oxygen to the metal through the three-phase boundary between the metal, the electrolyte and the atmosphere. The experiments described ...
There is slight corrosion on the normal nail and massive corrosion on the copper wrapped nail. Connecting a more reactive metal from higher in the series protects from corrosion. A lower (less ...
