What are the elements is used to protect iron from rusting and has good electrical conductivity?

One element that can protect iron from rusting and has good electrical conductivity is zinc. Zinc can be used as a sacrificial coating on iron surfaces through a process called galvanization, where the zinc layer corrodes instead of the iron. This protects the iron from rusting while providing good electrical conductivity.
