What metal do you use to protect steel from corroding?
There are several metals which can help protect iron from rusting. The iron is electroplated with a non-corrosive metal such as aluminum, copper, zinc, or titanium.
Why is galvanising used?
God could you people just put the correct answer!
Which metal is most common?
The metal most often used by people is iron.
Is iron a non metal pr a metal?
Iron is a metal. And a solid
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.
What is used in galvanising iron?
Zinc
You can use zinc to stop things rusting how do you do that?
Galvanising is the act of coating a metal (iron or steel) in a thin layer of zinc. The metal is dipped in molten zinc.
How does galvanising protect iron form corrosion?
Because it prevents water from touching the surface of the iron.

Most used metal?
This metal is iron.
What does rusting need?
For something to rust you need oxygen and water. Rust specifically relates to iron (or iron products such as steel); it is iron oxide. When the metal comes into contact with oxygen disolved in water the iron in the metal reacts with the oxygen disolved in the water to form iron oxide - rust. This is why most metals are protected, to stop water and oxygen getting into contact with the metal and causing corrosion i.e. rust. Common methods of protection include galvanising, painting and coating.
Which is better galvanising or tinning?
galvanising :)
What does galvanized mean?
Zinc plating a metal which has a less negative reduction potential will protect the metal as the zinc is oxidised in preference. This is called galvanising
