[Old Answer]No they won't ...[/Old Answer]

This answer is technically wrong depending on how pedantic you want to be... ALL Metals that are dissimilar will react with each other provided certain conditions are met, i.e Moisture is Present.

It is not IF they will react that is important it is the RATE of reaction. For more detailed information look up a Galvanic Reaction Chart/Table.

For the purposes of this particular question, Aluminium/Aluminum and Steel are dissimilar and WILL react provided Moisture is present, but they are not too far apart on the Galvanic Reaction Chart so the RATE will be very slow.

Yes, there will be a reaction problem using galvanized steel with aluminum. Instead, hot dip galvanized material should be used because the zinc coating is thicker.

Copper YES! Brass NO! or I have never seen brass react with steel in my 12 yr career of doing service at real old houses.

What chemical reactions will happen if you connect galvinized copper and brass metal pipes?

There is no chemical reaction that will happen if galvanized pipes are connected to copper pipes via a brass intermediary. The reason is that brass does not react to either copper or zinc, the mineral used to galvanize metal pipes.


Will a galvanized screw react when in contact with aluminum?

yes


Why Using a dielectric union to join galvanized and copper water supply pipes?

Dissimilar metals in contact to each other cause a Galvanic Reaction resulting in one or both metals corroding and causing a leak. A Dielectric Union separates the two metals by uses of rubber and/or plastic thus preventing a Galvanic Reaction. Also in most Plumbing Codes, you can use a Brass fitting in place of a dielectric union as Brass does not react with Copper or Steel Piping (Galvanize Piping).


Does stainless steel react with copper?

No way/ NO how Ever bother to look at a black steel gas piping system or a fire suppression system or air lines Also black steel and NOTE that the gas valves are BRASS and a steam system and hydronic System are normally black steel with BRASS Valves and radiator valves BRASS , Gate Valves BRASS sprinkler heads BRASS so this means BRASS and STEEL work very well together


Why should curd and sour substances not be kept in brass and copper vessels?

all acids are sour in nature.curd,is made from milk which is slightly acidic in nature(as it contains lactic acid).we know that acids react easily with metals to give salt and hydrogen gas.when kept in copper or brass vessels,curd(and other acidic food items) reacts with copper and forms toxic compounds which may be unfit for human consumption,and may cause food poisoning.thus it is not advisable to keep curd and other acidic or sour food items in copper or brass vessels.


Possible problems in plumbing systems in dwellings?

"Certain kinds of metal pipes cannot be combined as they cause reactions. One example is for water heaters, which might have aluminum entries and somebody directly connects copper. When combined, these two metal react and start to corrode each other. " Water supply is normally copper or brass or galvanized piping The "REACTION" only happens when copper and non ferrous metal come into contact and most decent installers will use a dielectric fitting to prevent dezincification or galvanic corrosionBefore taking any advice look to see what qualifications they have as many have no idea what they are talking about.
