Yes Kelly there is but one has to remember there has to be an electrolyte in the cooling solution for any significant erosion to take place and without looking I don't know if the manufacturers use distilled water or demineralised water (basically the same thing) or even if the glycol solutions allow that reaction to take place.
Interesting subject though. Galvanic corrosion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
My own LC is an Intel and it looks almost all a hard injection molded plastic (pump housing and internals to me the only metal parts obvious is the radiator and I am wondering if it a one metal dedicated construction ie tanks and tubes all aluminium or all copper. Judging by the weight of the thing when I installed it I would say aluminium.
I suppose if the manufacturers were wised up to any possibility they would have included a sacrificial anode somewhere:)
