Which outcome accelerates corrosion when stainless steel connects to cast iron in seawater?

💡 Explanation

Galvanic corrosion occurs because the difference in electrochemical potential promotes electron flow through the seawater (electrolyte) resulting in oxidation of the iron anode and metal loss, therefore accelerating corrosion rather than preventing it, because passivation requires specific oxidation potentials.
