As a car owner, the battle against wear and tear is a constant one. Among the numerous adversaries your vehicle faces, electrolysis stands as a silent yet potent threat. Electrolysis, often referred to as galvanic corrosion, can silently deteriorate your vehicle's metal components, causing damage and compromising its structural integrity. Let's take a look at what it actually is and how to prevent it Demystifying Electrolysis At its core, electrolysis is a chemical process that occurs when two dissimilar metals come into contact with an electrically conductive fluid, such as water or an electrolyte solution. This encounter creates a small electric current that flows between the metals. As a result, one metal becomes the anode (where corrosion occurs), while the other acts as the cathode (where protection is provided). This electrochemical reaction trig ... read more
