add water or moisture to the equation and corrosion speeds up big time, the 2 metals make a electronic charge, and then one gets eaten.
if you were to use regular nails to hold the copper straps to hold the pipes to the wall studs, so they dont shake, the nails will corrode a lot slower. but still rot out over time, and sooner or later the pipes will start to rattle.
on them 8 lug wheels, i always used anti-seize on the lugs and back of the rear wheels to the hub. ( you want some between the lug and wheel too) i also towed my boat, and dunked the ass end in the salt water river 4 times a weekend. ( wheels deep) lugs would lock up, and the wheel got stuck once. never a problem again after using anti-seize.
heres one for ya, next high way trip you take in your truck, when you stop, go feel how hot the back tires are, vs the fronts, i have no idea why this happens, but my back tires/wheels were always way hotter then the fronts. i think the heat has something to do with the back wheels locking on. i noticed this with my 97 and 03 GMC p/u's both 4x4, happened with the factory wheels and the 33's i put on both of them. only had a problem with the aftermarket al wheels. the steel wheels always came off.
the heat would burn off tire shine faster too, very odd. fronts still looked great, the rears all dull and dirty looking..
