The presentation will review multiple case studies in which dissimilar metal connections along with some factors led to failures in pipelines, rebar in concrete, concrete degradation, earthquake anchor corrosion, and building plumbing systems. The speaker hopes to teach how different metals react in different pH, and why cathodic protection can be thought of as pH control and not only electron flow, reminding everyone that some metals thrive in high pH while others do not.
