galvanic difference
some examples, or I would translate the sentence slightly different.

The further apart the metals are in the table, the greater the galvanic difference
and the greater the expected corrosion on the anodic metal. ...

Another way of saying is something along the line of
The larger the potential difference, the greater the probability of galvanic corrosion.
