Galvanized steel sheet metal is fastened together with copper rivets. The galvanized steel sheet has an area of 1.2 ft² and the rivets have a total exposed area of 2 in.². The environment contains moisture and some salt. (a) Which metal will corrode? (b) If half as many rivets are used, what effect would this have on the total rate of corrosion? (c) See corrosion-doctors.org, and suggest 2-3 ways (in 50 words total or less) to mitigate or eliminate this specific corrosion problem. Schematic and Given Data: Copper rivets Total exposed area = 2 in.² Galvanized steel sheets Total exposed area = 1.2 ft² Electrolytic environment Area Ratio = Asheet/Arivet = 86.4
