Aluminum and steel are not a good mix. The electrolisis action between the dissimular metals creates a very rapid corrosive action which bonds the two metals together.
I may have to disagree there, though I am not an expert in chemistry, but my 1965 S type has a Heater Valve that is half cast aluminum (the top half), and half stamped steel (the bottom half).
After 40 years it failed, so I sliced the "crimp" edge seal to find out what's inside. I found two rubber diaphragms and a spring, the main diaphragm ruptured, allowing coolant to jet through the weep hole, tipycal failure mode.
I found no electrolisis action or even corrosion inside, other than the wear and tear and metal staining of 4 decades of use. The two halves separated easily once the crimp seal was opened, they were not "welded" together as one would expect. So the Myth is Busted!
