aluminum/copper

[hunter1895]

Hello newbie here I have read that copper and aluminium do not do well together . how long do you think it will take to rot out a cooling system with a copper block and alum. radiator? And wich do you think would rot first ? you all are the greatest help around thanks alot .

I think the Aluminum is what "rots". You can stop this with some antifreeze though.

i have a feelin that aluminum will rot first!

[Amedeo602]

aluminum would probably go first.....


but i'd have to recommend getting either all copper or all aluminum so you don't have to worry about it...

[!-=sky=-!]

put anti freeze and/or water wetter together and that will cure corrosion

[Eliminator]

The Al will definitely corrode before the Cu.
