单词 | galvanized iron |
释义 | galvanized iron Iron or steel that has been coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion. The process was invented by Luigi Galvani. Corrugated mild-steel sheets for roofing and mild-steel sheets for dustbins, etc., are usually galvanized by dipping them in molten zinc. The formation of a brittle zinc-iron alloy is prevented by the addition of small quantities of aluminium or magnesium. Wire is often galvanized by a cold electrolytic process as no alloy forms in this process. Galvanizing is an effective method of protecting steel because even if the surface is scratched, the zinc still protects the underlying metal. See sacrificial protection |
