After giving this further thought, I began to wonder if electrolysis will even take place, between galinstan and another metal; such as stainless steel. After all, I'm dealing with metal in galinstan, not water. As it turns out, someone has already performed research, on this issue, and the...

Thanks for your input, Nik_2213. I appreciate you mentioning the side effect of electrolysis. However, it still makes me wonder why stainless steel wouldn't continue to be suitable. I've watched a few YouTube videos of experimenters choosing to use stainless steel for electrodes, when...

Thanks, DrDu. Graphite may be an alternative. However, it seems a bit fragile. As of now, I've decided to go with 316 stainless steel. When I first started researching galinstan, it seemed as if it reacted with nearly all metals. I stumbled accross the following document, which shows that...

I'm planning on working with galinstan, for one of my projects. I need a conductor that can be immersed in the galinstan, indefinitely, without being corroded. I've learned that zirconium carbide has excellent chemical resistance, when it comes to galinstan. However, no one seems to sell it...
