French term or phrase: s'associer à

"Il est possible qu’une partie de la surface non couverte par le métal noble se passive à son tour; son potentiel électrique s’associe au potentiel électrique généré par la zone couverte par le métal noble."

This is about implants that have gold-plated surfaces with a pure nickel substrate.

Can we know a little bit more about the reason for asking this question. Is it about corrosion, and/or tissue rejection ?
Where is the electrical potential being measured ? Is it bone and nickel or gold and nickel ?
