  • *Ranges in acidic water, e.g. in crevices, stagnant, low velocity or poorly aerated water
  • The closer 2 metals in the table are to each other, the less prone they are to corrode
  • The further away 2 metals in the table are, the greater the risk of corrosion of the less noble (anode)
  • The higher the potential the more noble a specific material will be

    Example:
    – Stainless steel AISI 304 is more noble than aluminum
    – Stainless steel AISI 316 is more noble than AISI 304
    – Titanium of any grade is more noble than AISI 316
