This study examines the effects of Cu, Sb and welding microstructure on the galvanic corrosion of weldment using two types of filler metals in sulfuric and hydrochloric solution. Cu, Sb improved the corrosion resistance of weldment by the formation of protective layer and suppressed the anodic dissolution of the substrate. The welding microstructure affected the corrosion resistance by influencing the reaction at electrolyte/metal interface and the stability of protective layer. These factors lead to different galvanic corrosion behaviour of two weldments with time.
