Daniel,

My own home has a lot of Corten steel elements, roof, soffits, eaves and some 
doors. Most everything in contact with the Corten is stainless steel, including 
fasteners, plumbing vents, and chimney pipe flashing. The one thing that is not 
SS are the gable end flashings which are copper. Last year I pulled one off 
because I had not gotten a definitive answer as to the compatibility of Corten 
and copper and was curious. I found evidence of mild electrolysis on the Corten 
surface where the two materials made contact. I ended up separating the two 
surfaces with SS.
