Electrochemical potential Alodine to Nickel




What is the value of electrochemical potential between aluminium AG3 finishing with Alodine 1500 and Nickel (in fact, the contact is between Alodine and Nickel).

Please answer quickly. Thank you very much.

Chromate conversion coatings (Alodine 1500 in this case) are easy to break through. There is some resistance from Alodine 1500 and nickel oxidizes to increase surface resistance. However, it is most likely that contact is made directly to the aluminum. In that case the electromotive series potentials prevail.
