2. Galvanization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanization

   Galvanization. Galvanized surface with visible spangle. Galvanization or galvanizing (also spelled galvanisation or galvanising) [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 ...

3. Hot-dip galvanization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot-dip_galvanization

   Hot-dip galvanization is a form of galvanization. It is the process of coating iron and steel with zinc, which alloys with the surface of the base metal when immersing the metal in a bath of molten zinc at a temperature of around 450 °C (842 °F). When exposed to the atmosphere, the pure zinc (Zn) reacts with oxygen (O 2) to form zinc oxide ...

   It is also used in mines, gardening, machine protection and other decorations. Weld mesh is the term given to the kind of barrier fencing that is manufactured in square, rectangular or rhombus mesh from steel wire, welded at each intersection. Welded wire fabric (WWF) is also sometimes used in reinforced concrete, notably for slabs.

7. Electrogalvanization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrogalvanization

   Electrogalvanizing is a process in which a layer of zinc is bonded to steel in order to protect against corrosion. The process involves electroplating, running a current of electricity through a saline/zinc solution with a zinc anode and steel conductor. Such Zinc electroplating or Zinc alloy electroplating maintains a dominant position among ...
