   Galvanized mild steel cable ladder with corrosion around stainless steel bolts. All metals can be classified into a galvanic series representing the electrical potential they develop in a given electrolyte against a standard reference electrode. The relative position of two metals on such a series gives a good indication of which metal is more ...
