A list of metals arranged according to their relative corrosion potentials, in some specific environment.
a hierarchy of metals (or other electrically conductive materials, including composites and semimetals ) that runs from noble to active , and allows designers to see at a glance how materials will interact in the environment used to generate the series
The arrangement of alloys according to their tendency to corrode in a particular aqueous environment.
A list of metals and alloys arranged according to their relative corrosion potentials in a given environment. Compare with electromotive series.
A list of metals with those on the top of the list being attacked by those lower down in the list. The father apart on the list, the faster the attack.
A list of metals and alloys presented in the order of their tendency to corrode (or go into solution).
The galvanic series (or electropotential series) determines the nobility of metals and semi-metals. When two metals are submerged in an electrolyte, while electrically connected, the less noble (base) will experience galvanic corrosion. The rate of corrosion is determined by the electrolyte and the difference in nobility.
