Galvanic series and surface energy of engineering materials
Canonical, always-current version: https://referencesource.org/process-compatibility-coatings-adhesives-treatments/ Machine-readable: https://referencesource.org/process-compatibility-coatings-adhesives-treatments/data.json — this mirror is a point-in-time copy.
- Last verified: 2026-08-04
- Stale after: 2028-08-03 (past this date, prefer the canonical copy — it re-verifies on a cadence this snapshot does not)
- Records: 80
Electrode potential in seawater (volts vs SCE) for metals and alloys from the ASM/MIL-STD-889 galvanic series, and surface energy (dyne/cm) for plastics and packaging materials. Answers 'will these two materials corrode each other' and 'will this adhesive wet this plastic'.
Provenance — what every record carries
Every record carries source (the URL the value was read from) and
source_quote (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you
cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one;
these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on
the canonical site at its url.
Licence position
Factual compilation with source citations. Galvanic series from ASM Handbook Vol. 13 and MIL-STD-889 (US government, public domain). Surface energy data from kolorguide.com.
Facts are not copyrightable; what this dataset takes from each source is a fact plus a short attributed quote linking back to the page that states it.
