They forgot “more likely to corrode than virtually anything else.”

Where can I find that info? According to the article:

they're all highly resistant to corrosion, fatigue and wear, with excellent hardness and electrical insulation properties, according to the manufacturer.

https://www.google.com/search?q=galvanic+series&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS788US789&oq=galvanic+series&aqs=chrome..69i57.7447j0j4&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#imgrc=eE-SNbe_TuISJM:

This is called the galvanic series. The higher the metal on this chart, the more anodic, and the higher its propensity for corrosion. Galvanic corrosion occurs when any two dissimilar metals come into contact in the presence of an electrolyte. In a lot of cases dissimilarities in the metal itself can set up galvanic cells. Finest example of this is pitting corrosion on 7076-T6 aluminum that has not been otherwise treated or coated to prevent corrosion.

If you were to place gold foil on an aluminum block you could almost watch the corrosion occur in real time. When used in aircraft, Magnesium is usually carefully maintained and its coating is inspected regularly to prevent that forsaken metal from corroding.

So you just make sure you have a good coating and you're good to go.

And inspect on a Very regular basis. Because coatings never get compromised once applied right?
