Galvanic Series: Understanding the Corrosion Risks of Metal Combinations

When it comes to designing and building structures or machinery, understanding the galvanic series is crucial for preventing corrosion and ensuring longevity. The galvanic series ranks metals and alloys based on their electrode potential in seawater or other corrosive environments, helping engineers and designers select materials that are less likely to induce galvanic corrosion.

Check out our diagram below to learn more about the galvanic series and how it can help you make informed decisions about metal combinations. By understanding which metals are more likely to corrode when in electrical contact with each other, you can take steps to prevent rust and corrosion in your industrial applications.
