Hello, I suggest placing of stainless steel sludge pump to storage tank made of mild steel. It will be immersed constantly there. Is there any danger of electrogalvanic corrosion? Thank you in advance George Chaney

George, The degree and rate of corrosion is strongly influenced by the difference between the two materials on the electro-galvanic chart. The rate of corrosion is also affected by the relative surface areas of the two materials. That having been said, it is my experience that pumps made from a combination of carbon steel and stainless steel exhibit long lives in many types of corrosive service. Many pump vendors will offer an "all iron" configuration with a 316 SS impeller. I do not believe you will have an acceleration of the corrosion rate that you now have with the inclusion of the SS pump. My experience only............ MJC
