When selecting metals to be joined, especially when selecting what material a fastener in your application should be, galvanic series relationships are a useful guide. This information will help you determine which metals will have a minimal tendency to interact galvanically with each other… i.e. cause galvanic corrosion.
When looking at the galvanic series chart, the further away two metals are from each other, the higher the risk of galvanic corrosion, which can and should be prevented during the design phase.
