Galvanized iron is coated with what metal?
Galvanized iron is iron coated with a thin layer of zinc...the reason for this is the the zinc is oxidizes easier than the iron so even if the layer of zinc is broken the zinc will oxidize before the iron...... Gotta love the Chem...-dimes- Galvanized iron is iron coated with a thin layer of zinc...the reason for this is the the zinc is oxidizes easier than the iron so even if the layer of zinc is broken the zinc will oxidize before the iron......

What everyday objects are made of iron?
I don't know about everyday objects, but I know that your blood contains iron.
What materials are washing machines made from?
A washing machine is made from a variety of materials. These include Cast aluminum, enamel iron, plastic, stainless steel and zinc coated sheet steel.
Does induction require objects to touch?
No induction does not generally require the objects to touch. Induction can mean that one object induces an electrical change in the other object from a distance
What is the difference between corrugated iron and corrugated zincalume?
Corrugated iron is the parent material - usually with the traditional form of curved corrugations - but probably today comes in a number of variations on the size of these. Traditionally corrugated iron was zinc coated - known as galvanised iron. The zinc acts as a protective coating as it reacts chemically with the parent iron (which gives the strength) when this gets damaged or scratched or begins to deteriorate. Zincalum is a more modern invention and is an alloy made up of zinc and aluminum and behaves in much the same way as a zinc coating to protect the parent iron but because the zinc is in a body containing aluminum, it does not erode away at the same rate as pure zinc. Therefore the corrugated iron coated in zincalum will last much longer - maybe five times longer I believe. So they both do the basic roofing job but the expectation for life of the product so far as corrosion resistance is greatly improved.
Why objects made of iron are usually coated with paint or layer of protective metal?
To prevent it from rusting.

What is an object coated with if it is sherardized?
An iron or steel object that is sherardized is coated with a zinc-iron alloy.
What is the density of galvanised iron sheet?
Galvanized Iron (GI) is coated in layers of zinc to prevent corrosion. Its density is generally the same with steel, and is taken at 7850 kg/m3.
