Galvanizing

 

 

Galvanizing is the practice of immersing clean, oxide-free iron or steel into molten zinc in order to form a zinc coating that is metallurgically bonded to the iron or steel surface. The zinc coating protects the surface against corrosion by providing protection to the iron or steel in two ways. First, the zinc shields the base metal from the atmosphere. Second, because it is more electronegative than iron or steel, the zinc reacts with corroding agents first, providing a longer service lifetime for the part.
