Galvanic series of some dental alloys

Galvanic series for different metals in different electrolytes have been published, but never for dental alloys in artificial saline solution. The material classes studied are amalgam, gold alloy, nickel alloy, chromium cobalt casting alloy and temporary crown form. The electrogalvanic potentials were measured and determined in reference to a hydrogen electrode (H2/H+) arbitrarily defined as zero. A galvanic series of the tested materials was arranged in order of their potentials.
