Estimating the term…
A method to prevent corrosion of a susceptible article of a two-article system, in which first and second articles of the two-article system have surfaces facing one another and in which the two articles have different anodic indices includes applying a coating material to the surface of the first article and curing the coating material on the surface of the first article. The method further includes contacting and securing the surface of the first article with the surface of the second article. The two articles exhibit substantially no corrosion following exposure to a corrosive environment under standard GMW17026 for a 15 year simulated test.

A method to prevent corrosion of a susceptible article and to retain tension in a two-article threaded system, in which first and second articles of the two-article system have surfaces facing one another and in which the two articles have different anodic indices, and in which the articles are threaded to one another, the being tensioned to a predetermined torque, the method comprising:
A two-article system in which first and second articles of the two-article system are threadedly engaged with one another to form a threaded joint, the first and second articles having surfaces facing one another and in which the two articles have different anodic indices, the surface of the first article comprising a coating layer formed by curing a coating material on the surface of the first article, and the surface of the first article in contact and secured with the surface of the second article, wherein at least one of the two articles are capable of exhibiting substantially no corrosion following exposure to a corrosive environment under standard GMW17026 after a 15 year simulated test, the threaded joint tensioned to a predetermined torque,
