Galvanic corrosion

hautsteel — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:28:43 -0600

I am working on a concept for an outdoor garden gate. It would involve layering and alternating sheets of stainless and copper or brass with areas cut out in order to achieve a specific variegated pattern. I am aware that galvanic corrosion can occur between copper and mild steel, but am not certain about the potential chemical interactions arising from stainless being in direct contact with copper or brass... Can someone more well versed in metallurgy please advise?

Hi all, just got sent some great photos of a site before we put the sculpture in to after the plantings had grown. What a difference it makes to have the landscaping mature. There are earlier posts on this sculpture, but here is the concept for the sculpture, which was to small to read on the presentation pages that i posted.

My first sculpture with stainless steel. Yes it's sign, but it is a piece of art. I am slowly raising interest in art and sculpture to a small town.

Bearings for kinetic sculptures

I have done some small kinetic pieces (mostly using bicycle bearings) and now I need to scale one up. I'm not sure if I should switch to a more substantial (weatherproof) bearing system. Any suggestio
