How to rust proof underwater alligator clips?...tia sal

Greetings, All

I 'm doing some under water test but my alligator clips are rusting due to the fact that they are not
coated with rust proof materials. Does anyone know which material to use to rust proof alligator clips
(I purchased them from radio shack) The alligator clips are used to transmit voltage underwater but they rust after a day.

If I paint them with a rust proof material, the material will still have to be able to conduct electricity
any ideas what i can use?


Thanks

 

You might try stainless steel alligator clips:

Offhand, it sounds a bit like electrolytic corrosion. In which case little
short of Platinum electrodes will survive. Maybe change to A.C.

graphite would be a cheaper solition than Pd
