Want galvanic activity chart

Dear Sir / Madam

I am looking for table of metals scaled on the basis of their galvanic activity or potential.

I believe gold was on the top of the chart with other metala below it.

I appreciate if you can provide me with this list of metals.

Thank you very much Dr. Mohsen Hourmanesh

Hi. You'll read disclaimers that such charts are limited because the galvanic activity of metals varies so much in different environments.

Nevertheless, it sounds like what you are interested in in what is called the "sea water series". At Google, just type in "seawater-series" and "sea-water-series" and you'll find a good number of these charts.
