Mixing Metals

[Jack Daw]

I would just like to add small warning. When you mix metals, you have to be a bit concerned on possible chemistry issues. If you mix metals like copper, stainless still, silver it could be OK. But if you add some less stable metals you can end up with fast corrosion of one of them. I don't know all details.

I would check before mixing metals if they're in direct contact.

Just my 2 cents.

Who told you?

I'm electro technical engineer and we used to do some experimenting with galvanic elements in the school. OK, if this is a part of your garment, reactions are rather slow, while there is not so much electrolyte available, but still…. And it greatly depends on the metal combination.

It was meant just as a minor warning.
