Anyone know of a good "primer" or general reference on the do's and don'ts of using composites (mostly carbon fiber and Kevlar since I'm only using E and S glass for things that are non-structural components) with various metals such as the regular aluminum alloys (2074 and 7075), lithium/aluminum alloys, stainless steel (AISI 301, etc), magnesium (AZ31B), titanium (such as 6A1-4V) and chrome-moly steels? I know I have heard of some cross-reactivity between various material combinations but would like to learn more. Suggestions, advice, guidance, etc is welcomed and appreciated. Thank you in advance.
