Which consequence accelerates corrosion in early cast iron cannons?

💡 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.
