Simple Definition:
Galvanization is a process that involves coating an object (usually made of iron or steel) with a protective layer of zinc [a bluish-white metal] to prevent it from rusting.
For example:
- A galvanized bucket has a layer of zinc on its surface to protect it from rusting when exposed to water.
- Galvanized steel pipes have a layer of zinc on the outside to prevent corrosion and extend their lifespan.
Very Simple Definition:
Galvanization is the process of adding a protective layer of zinc (a type of metal) to metal objects to stop them from rusting.
For example:
- A galvanized bucket doesn’t get rusty when left outside in the rain.
- Galvanized steel pipes don’t corrode easily and last longer.
