Monel / Inconel

10/16/2010 11:54 AM

I would like to know where I can insert Monel / Inconel in a structure exposed to

seawater , alongside of stainless steel and titanium , so that I don't induce

a galvanic flow?

If you are going to do this, you need to learn for yourself how it works.

Galvanic corrosion, or electromotive series are good search terms.

You should register, too if you want us to be your brains.

It seems to me that "guests" post one off questions, but don't intend to fully participate. Not cool.

I almost started a "Let's ignore guests" thread, but what's the use?

We've become a free reference service for people who don't want to do any work themselves, or even give meaningful information to us.

Oh well.

I used to do my best in answering some threads, but I found -as my friend lynlynch said - "We've become Free Reference Service for people who don't want to do any work themselves, or even give meaningful information to us".

Now, I can agree with the Thread "Let's ignore guests", especially those "guests" who post one off questions, but don't intend to fully participate, as said by my friend ronseto.

The same example located at Thread windmill, for a person wanna to know how to design a compact windmill system?

Free advice is seldom worth what you pay for it .

Any Engineer would know that both Inconel and Stainless won't corrode under

galvanic electrolysis . Either paticipate or sing for breakfast elsewhere.

Excuse me? "Galvanic electrolysis" is a method of hair removal.

And, anything with a potential difference of .15V or higher can corrode under the right conditions. Or, should I say when improperly mated without proper interface conditioning.

At least you're right about the free advice.

I'll ask people interested in structural engineering - If the answer was that easy to find , I guess airplanes would be easier to build.

Smart answers . Ha ha . All 3 metals are what are considered to be amonst the 3 most noble . To force them to corrode through galvanic action would require a tremendous amount of electricity . Mated together , these 3 shouldn't have any noticable galvanic activity at all. For any voltage less than welding voltage , all 3 should retain their molecular integrity . Could be that's why they are used in Nuclear Reactors . Good thing to learn to ignore , especially if you're a professional engineer.
