Immersion zinc plating is an electroless (non-electrolytic) coating process that deposits a thin layer of zinc on a less electronegative metal, by immersion in a solution containing a zinc or zincate ions, Zn(OH) 2− 4. A typical use is plating aluminum with zinc prior to electrolytic or electroless nickel plating.
Hot-dip galvanized steel strip (also sometimes loosely referred to as galvanized iron) is extensively used for applications requiring the strength of steel combined with the resistance to corrosion of zinc, such as roofing and walling, safety barriers, handrails, consumer appliances and automotive body parts.
Such zinc electroplating or zinc alloy electroplating maintains a dominant position among other electroplating process options, based upon electroplated tonnage per annum. According to the International Zinc Association, more than 5 million tons are used yearly for both hot-dip galvanization and electroplating. [ 1 ]

Health benefits of zinc “Zinc is involved in the activity of many biochemical and metabolism-related reactions in the body,” Kathleen Garcia-Benson , a registered dietician nutritionist, tells ...
Galvanization (also spelled galvanisation) [1] 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 the parts are coated by submerging them in a bath of hot, molten zinc. [citation needed]
Zinc is refined by froth flotation of the ore, roasting, and final extraction using electricity (electrowinning). Zinc is an essential trace element for humans, [8] [9] [10] animals, [11] plants [12] and for microorganisms [13] and is necessary for prenatal and postnatal development. [14]
