How galvanization is done?

There is two ways it can be done. Hot-dipping or electroplating. In hot-dipping the steel to be coated is cleaned, then dipped in molten galvanizing metal (tin, zinc ...etc.). When cooled the steel is coated with a coarse coating of material. In electroplating, the metal being coated is attached to a cathode, and the plating material (chrome, zinc, gold...etc.) is attached to an anode and both are dipped into a bath of electrolytes (metallic salts of the galvanizing metal) and an electric charge is applied. The anode will dissolve into the electrolyte bath to replace the metal drawn out of the bath and deposited in a thin layer on the cathodic metal. Electroplating usually produces a smoother, thinner and easily polished coating.


How is electroplating done?

the metal on which electroplating is to be done is taken as cathode ( negative electrode) . the metal of which electroplating is to be done is taken as anode ( positive electrode) and the salt solution of the metal of which electroplating is to be done is taken as electrolyte . example- if we want to electroplate iron with copper then iron is taken as cathode and copper is taken as anode and electrolyte is copper sulphate.Electroplating is the process of plating one metal onto another by hydrolysis, most commonly for decorative purposes. This is done through the use of copper in a copper sulfate bath.


What gets plated during electroplating?

The metal being used as the cathode

What will be its effects if ozone gets thinner?

If ozone gets thinner, the UV will enter the earth. Uv rays are the fatal rays of the sun.


What is it when the atmosphere gets thinner?

The atmosphere gets thinner the higher you climb, which is why oxygen tanks are used by climbers scaling Mount Everest.


What penetrates the atmosphere when the ozone layer gets thinner?

When the ozone layer gets thinner, its power becomes low. It causes the UV to penetrate it.
