Talk:Galvanic corrosion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Move requested

I have requested a move of Galvonic corrosion to Galvanic corrosion to fix the spelling error. An admin will take care of it. Dicklyon 01:36, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Why trouble an admin with trivia when you can do it yourself? Done. --Wtshymanski 03:55, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

The move instructions are very clear about this; read them; undone. Dicklyon 04:01, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Page moved, per request. Cheers. -GTBacchus^(talk) 09:49, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge Lasagna cell here?

I proposed that we merge lasagna cell into this article, since it's a good example of galvanic corrosion and not something so notable as to need its own article. Please support or oppose here:

• Support naturally, since I proposed it. Dicklyon 21:13, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
• Support The page in question is extremely short. Its top paragraph nicely fits with the silver cleaning example in the opening section, maybe even in a new common examples section. Careless use of the term battery should be avoided though. Waerloeg 08:14, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Done. Dicklyon 06:49, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chemistry

Could someone who knows add some information as to the meaning of corrosion. Is it simply oxidation , salt formation , both or neither?

I came to this page for specific information on G.C. and part none the wiser.

I think it's generally oxidation, but not necessarily with oxygen. In a salt solution, choride ions are the oxidizing agent, so you get a metal cloride. So, yes, it's salt formation, too. Dicklyon 20:41, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
