Image listing the galvanic series from active to passive metals.
The galvanic series ranks metals and alloys based on their electrode potential in seawater or other corrosive environments. This ranking determines which metals are more likely to corrode when in electrical contact with each other. By understanding this series, engineers and designers can select materials that are less likely to induce galvanic corrosion when used together in structures or machinery. This knowledge is crucial for preventing rust and corrosion in various industrial applications, ensuring the longevity and reliability of metal components exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
