@peterbutlien13358 ай бұрын
On boats in seawater, the most common casualty of galvanic corrosion is a bronze or aluminum propeller on a stainless steel shaft, but metal struts, rudders, rudder fittings, outboards, and stern drives are also at risk. You can counteract galvanic corrosion by adding sacrificial annode or zincs. Your zinc carburetor essentially acted as a sacrificial zinc limiting corrosion on the rest of the assorted metals.
@MadScientist2678 ай бұрын
The carb isn't zinc. It's aluminum. Aluminum is a more reactive metal yet than zinc and so serves especially well as the sacrificial. There are 2 key processes happening with this. One is the galvanic corrosion you mentioned. This happens any time 2 (or more) different metals are in electrical contact with each other ("bonded") and are in connected volumes of electrolyte (the salt water). They behave as a shorted "cell" and give the electrons the path they need (via the bond) for the reaction to take place. This will go as long as there is cathode material to react, electrolyte is present, and the bonding is intact. The other is that the chlorine in the salt catalyzes "normal" corrosion by what amounts to a "partial reaction" (called a half-cell in electrochemistry) and if there is oxygen present, it can "steal" the metal ions, causing corrosion without an external electron path. It's not cut and dry and is way too much to try and put into a KZfaq comment but that's basically what is happening. If you want to see this on steroids, behavior closer to what is seen under cars in areas that salt for ice and snow, bubble air up thru the pool water. There will be a *huge* difference between that and what you saw here.
@andrewt92048 ай бұрын
@@MadScientist267 Zinc is less noble than aluminum, by just a little bit. It's why it's very important you keep the zinc/magnesium anodes on your aluminum boat up to snuff, especially in seawater. As soon as the sacrificial zinc disappears or is too heavily corroded, your aluminum hull will be next. Assuming you have an inboard or leave the drive in the water.

Reminds me of the time Top Gear put the Hilux in the ocean and brought it out and started it up.

The different metals touching would create some galvanic corrosion through electrolysis in the saltwater. The zinc coted parts saved the iron/steel in the engine by corroding first.
@MadScientist2678 ай бұрын
It's a very complex series of reactions but that is indeed part of it. A steel part electrically connected to an aluminum part will indeed corrode both in a salt bath. Aluminum is more reactive than iron, hence things like the carb suffering the most. Aluminum is in extensive use but it is thin and "fragile" in the carb. The biggest player in corrosion in salt water is the presence of oxygen. Vlad only touched on the idea, and the "limit" of the action of the salt water is largely due to the oxygen dissolved in the water being sequestered by the metal. Once it is gone from the water, the chlorine in the salt can only act with galvanic, and things slow way down. They can only proceed at the rate the oxygen can diffuse into the water at the surface and make its way down to the metals via convection currents driven largely by heat and to a lesser extent, density. This is why when they raise an artifact from the sea floor that they want to preserve as much as possible, they will keep it in a sample of water close in composition to the water it was originally in (usually by just taking some with it when they pull it up from the bottom). The water is more depleted of oxygen than anything they could mix up at the surface, and this shields the metals and protects them from further degradation. You may have noticed how much worse the carb got on the surface after it had been sitting out and dry as they got the engine running on a known good carb. That's aluminum oxide and will continue to grow for some time to come as long as there is chlorine available in remnant salt to catalyze its creation. Fun stuff.

Add copper and you almost made an everready classic carbon zinc battery (kind of). Also think of the sacrificial electrode in a water heater or on boat motors. The galvanic reaction, electrolysis eats those components away so more important components stay usable for longer periods of time. Also, if electricity is present the reaction is much faster.

One month submerged in salt water? I can tell you right now it won’t start ever again. Even after a day, it might run for awhile, but eventually won’t. Back in 2005, after hurricane Wilma flooded most of Key West Florida, suddenly many people were driving new cars around. Because the salt water corroded all the electrics in their old car. That’s what happened to my friends ‘93 Geo Metro. We moved to Florida in that tiny hatchback and it ran like a champ from Hawaii, to Indiana, to Florida. But that salt water was the end.
