>> GALVANIC<<< >> Any metals,. even if one is a Stainless alloy, and one is mild steel alloy have different "potential difference". This means their ability to accept a electrical charge.
These charges can happen due to static, earth rotation, electrical waves ( Radio, light, etc) .
If they have different abilities to hold a change, one becomes positive, and one negative ( trying to make this simple to understand)
So you have a weak BATTERY and they do corrode as they pass current 'IN A CONDUCTOR" ( even lithium turns to a white dust).
The conductor can be FOG, High Humidity, RAIN, Water, or some acids.
So basically try to keep what you have done / welded, Clean Primed sealed and Dry at the metal is the key.
