There is also galvanic action, or electrolysis. Where dissimilar metals
react to each other with the metal with the higher atomic weight giveing up
electrons to the metal with the lower atomic weight.
That's why boat/yacht owners install 'ZINC' sacrificial anodes to their
bonding system, so that the heavy zinc deteriorates instead of the vital
brass/bronze/steel etc in the boat/yacht. Emphasis on the word
"sacrificial."
