Every single electrician I know is familiar with galvanic corrosion as well as how to mitigate it with insulation, dielectric grease, sacrificial anodes, etc. Steel and aluminum are the two most common metals that we use to make things. Galvanized steel has a zinc coating that acts as a sacrificial anode, almost any steel that is installed outside that isn’t stainless is galvanized.
