Question concerning Brass and Aluminum

Post by Gethin »

Hi,
I seem to recall that if one uses brass rivets with Aluminum plates the brass will corrode quicker due to electron exchange. Is this correct?
Thank you.
All the best,
Rhys

I think its the other way around.

Brass being Zinc and Copper, sometimes with a touch of Tin.

Cheers,
