What can you use for sacrificial protection of iron nails?
A more reactive metal which is electrically connected to the nail. Typically, zinc is used to coat the iron nail (hot dip galvanizing)
Is hot dip galvanizing better than electro galvanizing?
It depends on what the metal is going to be used for. A hot dip galvanized steel generally has a thicker zinc layer than an electrogalvanized steel which improves its properties against corrosion. On the other side, the thicker layer might make it inferior in an application in which space is limited.
Depositing a layer of zinc over iron is called?
Its called GALVANIZING...!!
Why galvanizing is preferred over tinning?
One advantage is economic: Tin is more expensive than zinc. Another, probably more important one, is that zinc, unlike tin, is higher in the electromotive series than iron. Therefore, galvanized iron can continue to provide protection against rust, even when small holes develop in the zinc coating, because the zinc will be oxidized in preference to iron.
When were metals first used and what was it used for?
bronze metal was the first metal to be used in ancient times.
What is the process of electro galvanizing?
Electro galvanizing is the process of applying a protective metallic coating to an underlying piece of metal.
What protects metal from rusting?
Coatings Cathodic Protection If steel- galvanizing
What has the author W T Flanders written?
W. T. Flanders has written: 'Galvanizing and tinning' -- subject(s): Galvanizing, Tinning, Metal spraying
What material used for galvanizing mild steel is?
Zinc
What can you use for sacrificial protection of iron nails?

What does galvanise mean?
"Galvanized" is an adjective used to describe steel which has been coated with zinc metal. Galvanized steel is quite well protected from corrosion by the zinc coating which provides the steel with both physical and chemical protection. There are currently 3 processes which are used for galvanizing steel: (1) hot dip galvanizing, (2) electrogalvanizing, and (3) thermal diffusion galvanizing.
Is hot dip galvanizing better than electro galvanizing?

On the other side, the thicker layer might make it inferior in an application in which space is limited.
Why galvanizing is done?
Galvanizing protects steel from oxidization (rusting).
What is a galvanizing event?
A galvanizing event is an event that strengthens, that inspires positively, that brings resolve to someone or a group of persons. Both negative events and positive events are capable of galvanizing (that is, producing a galvanizing effect in) those affected by them.
What are the preventions for corrosion?
That depends on the type of corrosion. There are paints that can help. You can galvanize metal for outside use. In industrial applications plating and powder coating are commonly used. Electroless Nickel Plating is one of the most corrosion resistant surfaces available. Electroless Nickel plating is especially useful when corrosion protection, hardness, wear resistance, a smooth surface and uniform deposits are required. Zinc electroplating is similar to galvanizing but thinner and more precise. Powder coating is essentially a hard paint that prevents corrosion. Essentially galvanizing is probably the best way to prevent corrosion on metals. Galvanizing is where the metal is dipped in liquid (molten) zinc and this prevents water and air getting onto the protected metal very well.
How may the word corrode be used in a sentence?
Iron does not corrode as easily when coated with zinc by galvanizing.
What is galvanizing made from?
Iron with a zinc coating. Galvanizing is the application of a zinc coating over a metal (usually steel) to inhibit corrosion. The process is simple. In this case, manufacture your part (either forge or cast the iron) and then hot dip it in molten zinc to coat it and produce your galvanized iron part.
