Does low conductivity metal limit current flow in a series circuit?

Hi,
If some voltage is traveling from a low conductivity metal to a high conductivity metal, does it impose limitations on the high conductivity metal such that it will only do as much as the low conductivity metal?

You phrasing is not correct, as voltage does not travel.

Let me answer your question with a question: What is a resistor?

I'll comment again on your wording. This is not to be pedantic, but I think that it is at the source of your confusion. Current is not something that starts flowing at one end of a circuit and moves along, like water would in an initially empty pipe. The current will depend on the overall circuit.

Again, please start by answering: What is a resistor?
