    252 Galvanic Corrosion Compatibilty Chart Technical Information

    Uploaded by

    Dan Cosac
    The document discusses galvanic corrosion that can occur when dissimilar metals are in contact. It provides a galvanic series chart that lists metals from most anodic (likely to corrode) to most cathodic (unlikely to corrode). The closer the metals are on the chart, the less galvanic action will occur. When selecting fasteners, the document advises choosing materials compatible with the substrate to minimize corrosion based on their positioning on the galvanic series chart.

    Special Note: Preservative-Treated Lumber Applications


    ACQ, Penta, CA or CBA preservative-treated lumber can be incompatible with certain types of fasteners. In those cases where any type of metal roof
    or wall cladding materials are being attached to preservative treated lumber, the following fasteners are not compatible: zinc plated screws, zinc-alloy
    headed screws, stainless capped screws, aluminum, copper and copper alloy. When attaching metal panels to those types of preservative-treated lumber,
    a moisture barrier should be used between the lumber and the panel material. Metal panel fasteners that are compatible with preservative-treated lumber
    are stainless steel fasteners, or hot dip galvanized nails manufactured to ASTM A153 class D or heavier. Other types of fasteners coated with proprietary
    anti-corrosive technologies are also available for use with preservative-treated lumber. In addition, zinc-plated screws can be used in CCA and MCQ
    pressure-treated lumber.
