Abstract
Mechanical assembly of magnesium alloy with steel or titanium/titanium alloy parts. Because the two major metal parts in the assembly have incompatible ionization energies, a part made from aluminum or zinc alloy, the ionization energy of which in intermediary between the two, or an electric insulator intervenes to prevent electrolytic corrosion between them. Furthermore, clearances between the two major metal parts, owing for example to manufacturing tolerances, are injected with filler. The mechanical assembly may be employed in human-powered rotary machines such as spinning reels and bicycle components.
