← HistoryWhich consequence accelerates corrosion in early cast iron cannons?
A)Crevice Corrosion from trapped seawater
B)Oxidation from elevated firing temperature
C)Galvanic corrosion from bronze fittings✓
D)Stress corrosion during handling transport
💡 Explanation
Galvanic corrosion occurs because the iron cannon (more reactive) acts as the anode; therefore, iron corrodes faster when electrically coupled to bronze fittings (cathode), rather than pure chemical oxidation dominating in dry storage.
