   Galvanism
   When different metals are in contact with each other, one 'eats' the other according to the scheme below, listing the most durable metal last. The table also reflects the durability of metals immersed in water. This knowledge is useful for understanding a deteriorated wrecksite, as well as for treating recovered objects (never mixing metals). The galvanic series : zinc, iron (cast iron, forged iron, steel), tin, lead, bronze (61-83% copper and the rest tin), copper, artillery bronze (88% copper, 2% zinc, 10% tin), silver, gold.
