1 Scope
This document specifies standard methods for avoiding galvanic corrosion in the design
stage and for determining whether actual corrosion damage was caused by galvanic corrosion.
It also specifies guideline for standard methods for suppressing galvanic corrosion.
This document also provides guidance for predicting galvanic corrosion in different
environments (e.g. in water and in atmospheric and soil environments) by numerical
calculation based on polarization data.
This document does not establish the grounds for indexes related to safety or the
loss of functions of materials in actual use. However, this document can be used to
estimate the function maintenance life and safety maintenance life of these materials
in advance. The responsibility for using the guideline rests with the reader.
