When two connected, but differing metals are exposed to an electrolyte, such as seawater, they in effect become a battery. The weaker metal looses electrons to the seawater, which creates an electrical charge. This process rapidly erodes the metal supplying the electrons.

Definition: Process where electrical energy will change in chemical energy. The process happens in an electrolyte, a watery solution or a salt melting which gives the ions a possibility to transfer between two electrodes. The electrolyte is the connection between the two electrodes, which are also connected to a direct current. If you apply an electrical current, the positive ions migrate to the cathode while the negative ions will migrate to the anode. At the electrodes, the cations will be reduced and the anions will be oxidated.
