The galvanised articles are prevented from rusting even if the zinc coating is broken .why?
A galvanized substance is that which has been coated with a layer of zinc to delay corrosion.It does this by the zinc getting corroded itself,instead of the substance. The outer layer of zinc of any galvanized material, reacts with the atmospheric oxygen to form Zinc Oxide (ZnO), which is stronger than Zinc. Thus, even if the outer layer of zinc undergoes corrosion, the material is getting coated with a stronger substance (ZnO), and thus is better able to resist corrosion.
What is zinc electroplating?
The process of coating a thin layer of zinc on iron is called galvanizing or zinc coating. This process is carried out by dipping a clean sheet of iron in a zinc chloride bath and then heating it. After this the iron sheet is removed, rolled into molten zinc metal bath and finally cooled with air. Advantage of galvanizing is that it protects iron against corrosion even after the coating surface is broken.
