galvanic:

Copper alloys present a high and positive standard potential of corrosion. Consequently, there is a risk of galvanic corrosion if they enter into contact with a material of lower standard potential such as steel containing less than 13% of chromium.

 

Typical applications

male contacts of connectors and other electronic applications
