Does anyone know
for sure if aluminium and brass react in water (coolant)? I am going to use
a brass thermo fan switch in my plastic radiator tank and it needs an
adapter. I was going to make it (the adapter) from aluminium but I am not
sure if this will cause electrolysis.
Aluminium is anodic to brass and so will corrode in preference in a
suitable solution (eg plain water). But if you use a suitable corrosion
inhibitor the reaction rate is slowed dramatically. I don't bother with
coolant's as such, but have used the Castrol radiator corrosion inhibitor for
years without
problems.
