Which mechanism causes accelerated corrosion in dissimilar metals?

💡 Explanation

Galvanic corrosion causes electron transfer from the more active metal’s oxidation, because it creates an electrochemical cell; therefore accelerated corrosion happens, rather than uniform surface attack, because of differences in the reduction potential.
