[Current]Corrosion of metals — Dissimilar metals in contact in seawater
Specifies a method for testing dissimilar metal couples immersed under standard conditions in seawater and for the determination of ratings for the additional corrosion which may occur on the more anodic metal for each couple. In addition, ratings are given for 245 commercially-significant dissimilar metal couples.
