The galvanic corrosion behavior of a depleted uranium-titanium alloy (Du-.75Ti) coupled to MgZk60A-T5, AA-7075-T6, bare steel-4340, and coated steel-4340 exposed to ASTM seawater was investigated by monitoring the galvanic current with time. Gravimetric measurements, polarization resistance measurements, and concepts of ''mixed-potential'' theory were used to calculate corrosion rates. It was demonstrated that galvanic currents must be monitored over extended periods of time to detect changes in the galvanic corrosion behavior. Good agreement was obtained for corrosion rates calculated using the concepts of ''mixed-potential'' theory and those obtained from gravimetric measurements.
