I would remove any paint from surfaces to be bonded. 3M VHB tape would probably be a good solution here.

A piece of butyl widow flashing tape between the two surfaces would prevent any corrosion, just apply to the bottom of the bar and go from there.

The process is electrolisis, and will eat up the material fairly quickly. Why do you want to use steel instead of aluminum? A piece that size will be very heavy. Might consider a piece of PT 2x4 instead.

Most any industrial supply house can sell you what you want, in about any size, and cut to length.
