What would happen to the metals if iron nails were used to secure sheets of copper to a roof?
Answered by DrBob222
The iron nails, being above Cu in the acitivity series, will rust eventually (air and oxygen), but I don't think that will affect the copper roof. The copper roof, if uncoated, usually will turn green due to a water, CO2, O2 reaction but that is natural with copper.
