This CuNiFer alloy pipe is used in a seawater cooling system and is electrical insulted with nearby metals; this prevents galvanic corrosion to occur since there is no contact with other metals. I've seen multiple sources that say CuNiFer is very corrosion resistance. The pipe is still...

What kind of process drives this dissolution?

The pipe is used in a seawater cooling system in an engine where the water is pumped, the pipe is connected on both ends with rubber connectors so it is isolated to other metals. The sacrificial zinc anode is placed within the pipe via a tapped hole where the zinc is on the end of a bolt.

I don't see the reason why this pipe has to be protected, these sacrificial anodes (zinc) are commonly used to prevent galvanic corrosion, but the condition needed for this; Electrochemically dissimilar metals must be present These metals must be in electrical contact, and The metals must be...

For a seawater cooling system there is a isolated copper alloy pipe where seawater flows through protected with sacrificial Anode. For galvanic corrosion there needs to be two different metals connected in a presence of an electrolyte, since this isn't the case. For what kind of corrosion is...
