metal compatibility

12 years ago

I have a built in gutter on my gable roof. The gutter has been neglected over the years and I understand that the tin is gone, leaving just steel. I plan to use an elastomeric coating on the gutter.

I have to replace the downspout and I am not clear which metals are compatible. I'm hearing conflicting info from roofers or gutter contractors.

Which of these are compatible or incompatible with each other?

Copper
Aluminum
Galvanized Metal/Steel
Terne Metal

Copper and Aluminum??
