hello,

I am preparing a galvanic corrosion test between titanium and stainless steel. While reviewing articles focusing on the experimental procedures for galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals, I noticed that one common method involves drilling a hole into the electrode (in my case, titanium) , connecting it to a copper wire, and then masking the electrode to expose only a defined surface area.

I have two questions regarding this setup:

  • How is the copper wire bonded to the hole in the electrode? Is it simply tied in place, or is the junction sealed with epoxy or another material to ensure electrical contact and prevent electrolyte intrusion?
  • Are there alternative methods for preparing galvanic corrosion test samples? I would greatly appreciate any references to articles or figures that illustrate the sample configurations.
  • Any guidance or reference would be greatly appreciated.
