Discuss the difference between sacrificial corrosion and galvanic corrosion.

What will be an ideal response?


SACRIFICIAL CORROSION: A form of corrosion in which one metal such as zinc oxidizes, sacrificing itself to form a protective coating over another metal, thus slowing down the deterioration of the first metal.
GALVANIC CORROSION: A form of corrosion that occurs when two or more different types of metal come into contact with each other causing the more reactive metal to break down, causing corrosion where otherwise neither would have corroded alone. This type of corrosion is often thought to be detrimental when it occurs on an automobile.
