Yes, but not in this application.
A gate valve in the salt water cooling inlet for the A/C system on a 130' boat. The shipyard had connected stainless steel pipes to the manifold via this valve.
A very interesting and potentially ship-sinking effect. The brass was porous, leaking like a sieve.
I'd say it would rarely if ever happen in a waterblock.
