We potentially have an issue with some mild steel station benches that we are refurbishing for a customer. The legs are rusting under the plastic surface coating.
As this seems the only place any corrosion occurs we were considering replacing the bottom half of the legs with stainless prior to the new surface finish- but will this cause galvanic corrosion?
Our other alternative is to replace the legs with mild and galv the whole thing, although this will be much more costly- and the client will have a bench that lasts much longer than he maybe wants (his business relies on them having to be replaced periodically, so the product could be 'too good' if that makes sense.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Simon :)
