What do you mean by the process of galvanization

Open in App
Solution

Galvanization (or galvanizing as it is most commonly called in that industry) is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, to prevent rusting. The most common method is hot-dip galvanizing, in which parts are submerged in a bath of molten zinc.
And what we study in school is galvanizing by electrochemical processes. The process involves electroplating, running a current of electricity through a saline/zinc solution with a zinc anode and steel conductor.
