Jan 20, 2008 However, you may want to consider using stainless steel fasteners. The rate of galvanic corrosion is related directly to the ratio of cathode area (stainless) to anode area (aluminum). In other words a relatively small anode area like an aluminum pop rivet will be attacked much faster than a large one like the 1/4" plate.

Anodising to Prevent Galvanic Corrosion. Galvanic corrosion is a serious issue across the engineering industry and it has a variety of solutions, which all boil down to one technique: breaking the circuit. Anodising is one way to break the circuit. The anodic coating is made up of aluminium oxide, which is a good electrical insulator.
Answer (1 of 5): Overtime any metal exposed to H20 and O2 (except Gold) will corrode. The overlap of these materials ( SS and aluminum) will not, (under normal circumstances) cause Galvanic corrosion. Depending on the type fasteners and or processes to join the plates, Galvanic corrosion might s...

Aluminium and stainless steels (austenitic, duplex and super duplex stainless steels) are sufficiently different in terms of their galvanic potential for galvanic corrosion to occur if they are inadvertently coupled. In this couple, the aluminium would act as the anode in an electrochemical cell and be preferentially attacked.

The more cathodic material will corrode less, the more anodic will corrode faster. Thus if an aluminum part and a stainless steel part are in the same environment the aluminum part will corrode much faster than the stainless steel part. Generally, stainless steel fairs better in a galvanic corrosion situation.
